- Cause: Flight crew's delayed decision to initiate a go around after the approach became unstabilized, resulting in a hard landing.
A Talon Air Hawker 800XP on a ferry flight from Miami landed hard at Farmingdale at night after continuing an ILS approach in weather below minimums. The first officer began a go around only at about 50 ft after the approach had become unstabilized. The captain was slightly injured, the first officer was seriously injured and the aircraft was substantially damaged. The NTSB blamed the crew's delayed decision to go around.
