I find it very odd that the ATSB made no comment at all on the missing 7DME and 6DME steps on the Lido profile table. Granted the 6DME profile altitude is shown on the profile diagram, but it would have been much easier for the PNF to just look in the same spot for the whole approach, ala AIP, especially when they were so high initially and diving down onto the desired slope.
The investigation was unable to determine whether the NDB runway 16 approach was loaded into the aircraft’s FMC.
That's pretty shabby too; my old databases are kept until the next one is loaded, so even if the ATSB didn't "grab" the aircraft on the day, it should still have been able to confirm if the approach was actually in the FMS database within a reasonable time after the event. If I had had an incident like that, I would have been screaming from the rooftops that the approach wasn't in the database.
or build one in it?
They did, but weren't able to use the VNAV because they started off too high.
I wish the ATSB would publish their PDFs with links and Bookmarks.
