The ceiling is 800 ft overcast. The GOM also called for the airspeed to be “on target” at such altitudes respectively. According to the GOM, either pilot could call for a go-around, yet neither did despite the published stabilized approach criteria being violated.

The NTSB recently published the probable cause as “the non-instrument-rated pilot’s decision to continue visual flight into an area of instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in a loss of control due to spatial disorientation. No other mechanical abnormalities with the airframe or engine were present.
