Beschrijving:Impacted the side of a mountain ridge about 100 feet from the 1,400-foot top while on a night visual approach to Kaunakakai.
Probable Cause:
PROBABLE CAUSE: "Inadequate crew coordination led to the captain's decision to discontinue the instrument approach procedure and initiate a maneuvering descent solely by visual references at night in an area of mountainous terrain. The crew failed to review the instrument approach procedure and the copilot failed to provide accurate information regarding terrain clearance and let down procedures during the instrument approach."
