Anyone has any degree of certainty if it was on the approach path to Rwy 09 that this accident occured?

Looking at the weather info at the time of the accident it looks like a better judgement would be to go for Rwy 27. At that time of the day if you approach for Rwy 09 you would most likely be head-on to the rising sun and that, together with the haizy visibility you can find at this time of the year in TIP, makes the approaches to R09 kind of bilnd approaches...

About the comments regarding ATC services in Libya those who say that they are pretty go are not from this world or have never flown to TIP in recent years. There are some (few) ATC that can provide an average service and there are others (the majority) that sound like someone who has no clue about what they are doing. Still, it doesn't look like an accident directly connected to that...

Let's see what comes out of the accident investigation.

RIP.
