Utah man crashes plane into his own house
- that's a tough house, or
- that's a weak airplane, or
- the plane did not crash into the house.

I see broken windows and some fire damage, but structurally, not much damage to the house. Usually you can get a car to punch through a wall...not so much here.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

This was apparently a Cessna Citation 525 and, considering what's left of it, apparently a pretty tough airplane. But the house was tougher...

Seems like you typically see 50% of a car punched through a solid brick wall. Here I see most of the airplane out in the yard...Yeah, I think some repair is needed to the wall underneath the window, but please try to overcome your minds need to jump to binary operation.
There is amazingly little damage to the house (yes, a gray concept- but I'm pretty sure that had he aimed higher, he could easily have brought the whole house down.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

I can't see where any hell-better aeroengineer would deliberately write a procedure and checklist for flying into the house. Not a good use for an airplane, and potentially dangerous for innocent bystanders.
So, I suppose the pilot would have to depend upon broad, widely-applicable, physics- and experience-backed fundamentals...things which Evan would term Cowboy Improvisational Idiocy (since they are not supported by a procedural checklist).
If there was a checklist, should it require that they pull the GPWS cumulonimbus breaker to eliminate distracting background noise as they dive for the family home?
Did the pilot land a bit short of his ideal target because he lacked 'external' glide slope guidance?Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
