"A classic example of Good Crew co-ordination"

Maybe good crew coordination while flying, but what about decision making. They had a Take Off Alternate, why they didnīt us it? What I understand is, that they lost nearly all avionics. Radar in this part of the world in not very helpful. So they did a visual approach RWY 02? Of course itīs their homebase, but be honest, do you think itīs a good idea to shoot an approach there? I had been in KTM several times, I wouldnīt like to do an approach with more than 6 degree angle in marginal weather.

Maybe you have another opinion, but thatīs mine.
