There's a lot of reasons why this "should've" been worse, thankfully it wasn't!
These are two lucky people! They should run out and buy lotto tix!
Once again, enough money to buy a plane, not enough sense to fly it.
Let's see:
Conditions: 200 ft overcast, 1 mile visibility.
Lowest approach conditions: 300 ft and 1 mile.
2 miles from the runway, the plane (per the RNAV approach plate) should not have been that low - it should have been at 1280 feet until JONAX intersection.
What was the pilot doing 689 feet? He's way too low - and should have gone full power and taken the missed approach.
I can't wait for the NTSB investigation. Something isn't right here.

Trying to take a peak under low overcast? A Cheyenne went missed before this fiasco. He should have went to an alternate. YMMV.
I saw that photo a couple days ago, I thought it was an RC plane…
