The weather was quickly worsening before a plane crashed in Southern California last month, killing all six people on board, federal investigators said Wednesday.
The National Transportation Safety Board issued a preliminary report on the July 8 crash near Murrieta, with new details that added to questions about whether the pilots could see the runway as they attempted to land.
The plane was making its second attempt to land after a missed approach, which usually happens when pilots can't see the runway. Air traffic controllers gave the crew permission for the second attempt. Cox called it "a major error" that the private plane descended below the minimum height at which pilots must be able to see the ground at the airport.
