Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain a proper descent rate during landing, which resulted in a hard landing short of the runway.

NTSB narrative

As the pilot and copilot of the business jet were conducting an instrument approach to the runway and as the airplane was about to touch down, the pilot reduced the engine power. The airplane then descended and landed hard on a grassy area short of the runway threshold. The fuselage sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane what would have precluded normal operation.
