Summary282 Max talks about the crash of N819KR, a Cessna Citation 550 jet, at French Valley in Southern California. The pilots flew two GPS approaches at 4 AM, while the field was below IFR minimums. After the first approach, they flew the published missed approach and flew a second approach as the weather worsened. On the second approach, they crashed 500 feet short of the runway.
