Firstly , I doubt the integrity of Libyan officials investigating a Libyan air accident in Libya , even though foreigners were carried , to give the public timely and accurate information , even with Airbus and Dutch oversight . Therefore , I don`t think we`ll have many solid answers soon. I`m also sure someone at the Libyan transport ministry has since made a call to someone somewhere inquiring about the capital and installation cost of an ILS system for this airport. To fly an all night flight and then choose to land into the rising sun using a non precision approach at your " home base " is at least suspect , if not suspicious . Even if the minima was the same on 27 , the difference of not staring into a rising sun in reduced visibility is profound. RIP.
