The plot thickens... The Conditions of Carriage is one of those documents that require CAA approval, and is another precondition for the granting of a Commercial Air Operator license. Any subsequent modification must be cleared with the license issuing CAA.
From the emerging picture it seems whatever the actual cause will turn out to be, the wider implications will hopefully be far reaching.
Getting back to the event, regardless of the above I'm still not convinced that the accident was simply the result of low visibility/bust minimums. That usually results in lots of broken twigs and branches marking out the silhouette of level wings, or if they are luckier deep furroughs in a field, marked with bits and pieces of the shorn off landing gear. An airplane will only become inverted (unintentionally) after a loss of one wing or torque imbalance. Cartwheeling after a wingtip strike will result in severe damage to both nose and tailplane, not evident on the wreckege.
