Via my quick check, wx was sufficient to file/fly the ILS with clear condition alternates within 30 minutes. Note my total speculation on this, did they complete the ILS and attempt a transition to the ramp, passing over top the PAPI? The aircraft heading is opposite this path but the impact looks near vertical with rotors intact.

And, I wouldn’t characterize NVGs as completely useless in fog and on an ILS.
