Détails:The jet was on a flight to Toluca carrying cargo for DHL. Visibility was decreasing from two miles to one mile while on approach. The airplane impacted a 6 feet high wall, approx. 350 m short of the runway 15 threshold.
It was considered likely by the investigators that the crew descended below minima in order to obtain visual contact with the ground.
Probable Cause:
Probable cause: "Carelessness of the crew of the altitude of the aircraft, during its final approach, when trying to make visual contact with the runway, in a VMC approach, when the meteorological conditions (fog) imposed an instrument approach (IFR)".
Contributing factors:
- continuing a visual approach, when required to be by instruments.
- overconfidence of the crew in their experience and ability (pilot with 4669:35 hours total and co-pilot with 2502:45 hours total)
- low approach.
