The PIA crash on the KTM VOR/DME was apparently caused by confusion on the part of the pilots about the steps.
Two Questions,
1/. What was a Captain doing on the flight if he had so little knowledge of the approach/ability to read an approach plate?
2/. Wouldn't a company published FPA or approved profile, i.e. 500'/nm from 11800', have avoided that confusion?
CFIT is like a taxiing accident, there is just NO excuse!
