Too early to say, but my thoughts for what it's worth.

The airfield has an ILS on RW 35 but the wind was from the south at 10 knots or more. The runway is just over 1900 m long.

Crash position was to the south east of the airport.

This suggests to me an ILS approach to RW 35 (with a tailwind), followed by breaking right for a left hand downwind pattern to land on RW17. The left hand pattern would have favoured the circle to land being flown from the left hand seat which is what one would expect when flying in challenging conditions.

Don't know what the circling minimums for Resolute Bay are, but the cloud base at the time was pretty low......
