THE FLIGHT WAS CLEARED FOR THE ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 30. THE FLYING PILOT WAS THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND. ACCORDING TO THE COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER TRANSCRIPTS, THE FLYING PILOT HAD DIFFICULTY MAKING A STABILIZED APPROACH. DURING THE INITIAL DESCENT THE AIRPLANE ENTERED AN OVER-SPEED CONDITION AND THE AIRPLANE FLEW THROUGH THE LOCALIZER. DURING HIS ATTEMPT TO RE-ESTABLISH THE AIRPLANE ON THE LOCALIZER, THE PILOT ALLOWED THE AIRSPEED TO DECREASE TO THE POINT WHERE THE PRESTALL 'STICK-SHAKER' ACTIVATED. THE STICK SHAKER CONTINUED UNTIL THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED CONTROLLED FLIGHT AND IMPACTED TERRAIN. NO EVIDENCE OF ANY PREIMPACT MECHANICAL ANOMALIES WERE DISCOVERED DURING THE INVESTIGATION.
