Federal investigators said that the Cessna 550 business jet was destroyed in an early morning accident near Murrieta, where it hit the ground short of the runway threshold at French Valley Airport and stopped about 100 feet past the initial impact point before catching fire. The report said the airport's automated weather observing system had recorded clear skies and visibility of 10 miles less than an hour before the incident. However, just 20 minutes later, the reported weather was"an overcast ceiling at 300 feet" and visibility was down to three-quarters of a mile.
