1. That beige rolling terrain has to be almost a worst-case scenario for trying to distinguish ground obstruction in scud (excepting darkness, of course).
2. The location of the VOR set off alarm bells in my mind right away. The crash site is certainly consistent with accidently flying a VOR radial 350 inbound instead of the ILS, but there are other possibilities, obviously...
3. ...such as a right turn (followed by a left turn) to enter a LEFT downwind and subsequent left hand turns to base and final (in my book, that is a "left" circle to land - but call it what you will). This gives the left-hand seat the best continuous view of the runway....
4. ....assuming the PIC, left seat, was actually handling the controls. In tricky conditions, probably a good assumption, but not a certainty. Much of the time, the pilot flying is the FO in the RIGHT seat.
I guess we'll know sooner or later, if the CVR and/or radio frequncy dials survived.
