Summary

Can we all agree that:
  • Pilot elected to land on 09
  • Procedures for 09 ar VOR and Locator, not very precise, but standard procedures that any current pilot should be able to shoot
  • Wind, few knots from 270
  • Visibility 2000-5000 but worsening the lower they went
  • Sun dazzling effect
  • Nothing abnormal until last minute
From the crash site analysis
  • First impact point to the west of mosque
  • Probably tail first, high AOA
  • High energy impact, possibly go around already started
  • debris field almost 1 km long
