Absolutely correct, the lack of Ipublished procedures most likely did not play a role, as the flight was VFR performing a visual APP. . The SUP-AIP 2/2023 given by
grizzled here is however gives some background on the intoduction of this new airport . That is also what he said. : for background info, not explaining the cause.
@Stevedd32 : interesting but pure speculation ,as we do not know the speed of the aircraft when it (*) starts to turn , and unlike the B52 you refer to, the initial bank we see on this video does not appear to be brutal or excessive , but we'll see what the recorders says.
Note (*) : I say " it" , as, for all we know it could have been uncommanded .
