on the Manchester - Trabzon - Islamabad route, airblue does a fuel stop plus a crew change at Trabzon. they have no shortage of crew infact the fleet is overcrewed.
the flights was ED202 from KHI to ISB. those hills are about 7NM north of the field
there are suggestions that he was doing a circle to land for 12 and by the looks of it they lost the field while breaking off to th right from the ILS. the impact point and height is in line with this. impact height is around 3000 feet (field elevation 1668) and crash site is 35 to 40 degree off runway 30. the hills are appx 7nm from the field
did my training out there, its not challenging as some might suggest.
sad day for aviation in Pakistan
