For info: the crew did a VOR approach to R02, followed by a GA, then made an ILS approach to R20 which resulted in a hard landing & subsequent accident. I believe it's also true the Capt was on his 2nd night duty, which may or may not be relevant. From personal experience, tower-reported weather at GRO is sometimes not updated frequently enough. There is no ATIS, no ILS on R02, no radar and a shortish runway with a significant slope. Not a nice place to go to at night with CBs all around.
