Citation 750 down in Egelsbach.

[aviamark]

Marginal VFR turned out to be a few minutes later to be IFR...
Just a few minutes after the crash weather in EDDF was following

METAR EDDF 011920Z 02005KT 0400 R07R/0750VP2000D R07C/0700V1600D R07L/1100VP2000D FG BKN001 07/07 Q1025 NOSIG=

Maybe there was some fog around at the accidentplace which was not taken into account by the
AUTO Metar from Egelsbach...

I had been do EDFE several times, tough thing to get an X in there on 1400m - again under
these conditions. Citation X minimum landing distance 1000m. EDFE LDA on 27 1166m

While I never want to criticize colleagues, this approach under these met conditions seems
to me a bit useless as you have Frankfurt a few miles to the west which has all IFR approaches
you can dream about... CAT III was in prorgess there.

My condolences to the familys who beareved. Very sad!
