Report is out!

Simon has managed to obtain the Final Report that was released today:
http://avherald.com/files/(PUBLIC%20...3%20AP-BLD.pdf

160 pages of mostly repeating what we already know in hair-raising detail, but much to my surprise, it is actually acknowledged that "the judgement of both flight crew was probably impaired due to effects of fasting while flying".

Other noteworthy quotes from the report:

"[Captain] was of bossy nature, firm, dominant and overbearing. He had below average intelligence. He tends to have little regard for the authority. He had low mechanical comprehension with low comprehension of space relations. His level of stress tolerance was also quite inadequate."

"Captain flew 289 flights in last 12 months prior to accident, out of which only 06 flights were analysed. Overall FDA rate for PIA was less than 5% and dedicated Flight Data Analyst was not available in PIA Safety Department till event flight."

"Flight history of Captain for last 12 months had numerous triggers during approach related to High Speed, Path High, High Rate of Descent, Long Flare Distance and GPWS Warnings. There was no Go-Around initiated and several Unstabilized Approaches were continued."
