The Jeppesen GNSS approach is for RWY 35. The first waypoint is at or above 11'000 feet before the step letdown SW of airport. Apparently, the wreckage is located 8 nm NW of the airport at 10'000 feet, right on the top of the highest mountain range when you come in from Kisangani. If you make a FliteStar route FZIC-FZMA direct GPS, the crash site is spot on the route. It was raining heavily in the region at that time.
