Probable cause
The PIC’s continuation of an unstabilized approach in gusting wind conditions and his failure to monitor the airplane’s altitude during the approach, which led to a descent into terrain short of the runway. Contributing was the flight crew’s failure to set the appropriate altimeter setting and failure to properly configure the avionics for the ILS approach.
