NTSB Preliminary report on HPN crash

Come on now, that's a wild guess!
Could have been any number of things. Maybe they couldn't find the
GS.
Maybe they thought they were still above it, when they were already
below it.
Sounds like there was some confusion about what their actual altitude
was,
which should not be going on if established on an ILS a mile out.
According to
the controller's radar they lost 300ft in 14 sec - trying to duck
under?
Trying toget their GS indicator to come alive? Maybe there was
something wrong
with the instrument - we can't exclude that at this early stage.

The weather report indicated 200 ft - but that was 20 minutes
earlier. The
Citation reported 200 also, but when I hear jets reporting minimums,
I always
wonder if it's really lower, and they just don't want to say it.

For now, it remains a tragedy for the freinds and families of the
victims,
otherwise an approach accident in low IFR, and we'll have to wait to
know
more.

What do you do when you cannot get the GS on approach? Can you
descent?
