Good post Jaba!
Another interesting fact is that VA actually made three attempted approaches.
One attempt at a visual
One at an instrument below minima and one more to the zero vis landing.
It's not clear in the report where exactly they broke of the visual approach but interestingly I don't know how you can intercept the IAF at MIAEC from the correct side without a lot of manoeuvring.
Can someone shed some light on this?
