Reported aircraft: Hawker HS-125-3A — a different aircraft that carried the N48DD registration before this airframe.

Probable cause: The pilot-in-commands inadequate preflight planning resulting in an approach to a runway with insufficient length. A factor related to the accident was the slush covered runway which resulted in a hydroplaning condition.

Reported aircraft: Thorpe T-18 — a different aircraft that carried the N48DD registration before this airframe.
