If you can get the airplane to descend early to a decision height 200 feet above touchdown zone elevation in an area where local terrain is 150’ above TDZE, you might be able to crash one who initiates the missed approach at the DH.

I agree it’s not a practical attack.



You'd also probably get a (E)GPWS warning well before crashing.
