Citation 750 down in Egelsbach.
Around 1900 LT, crashed on final, no final word yet on fate of occupants but looks bleak. Registration confirmed N288CX, out of Linz.

No IFR-approach available, crew cancelled IFR, continued in marginal VMC conditions and it was already dark. A KingAir crashed at virtually the same place about two years ago in similar conditions.
Sad!

(German only) report from a local newspaper here including two photos of the crash site.

288CX was literally touring the world, doing multiple RTW flights a year.

A terrible shame, if what seems to be true turns out to be so.

Forgive me eagle flyer, but what exactly do you mean by "marginal" VMC? The flight conditions were either VMC or they were not, so what precisely is the point you are trying to convey?
Show a bit of respect, don't talk nonsense, and leave the fact finding to people who know aviation terminology - and the correct definitions.

marˈginal ~ adjective
1 Relating to a margin
2 In or on the margin
3 Minor, subordinate or insignificant, not central, principal or mainstream
4 Barely sufficient
5 Not very relevant
The second definition above seems perfectly relevant and is in common use amongst aviation professionals. I have a feeling eagle flyer knows what he is talking about...
His post was crystal clear to me.

marginal VMC is even used in wx products such as GAFOR. So wtf is wrong with that? It's perfectly clear what he was saying, yes still VMC but barely so. Marginal VMC.

G IV registered N2SA was involved in an accident last month in the Republic of Congo, according to the NTSB.
Link here: DCA12WA037
I doubt it would be the same aircraft. The article mentioned would have put a file photo from any accident to illustrate... another fine reporter!

I can't imagine this accident is weather related as the weather wasn't too bad. And other than the King Air two years ago this aircraft has a ground proximity warning system to prevent the kind of accident that happened to the KA.

EDDF is really close by, 15 minutes drive. Not worth it, and VFR/night &foggy WX in a X onto a 1166mtr LDA runway or circling a very tight pattern to get the 1400mtr?
I have never flown it but it simply doesnt look like the ideal airplane for that.

It was N288CX. The aircraft was flying from Salzburg to Linz to pick up passengers and then planned to go into Egelsbach. Unfortunately it was not the first crash in Egelsbach under a VFR Night Approach and as far as I know the weather was not really good. And if you fly the first time to Egelsbach under VFR Night conditions this can be very tricky
