Seems strange to have had no navigator and no INS.


Was a northern approach to Bali standard? Just looking at Google Earth, wouldn't it be far less difficult to burn a bit more fuel and time by going past the airport, descending over the ocean and then approaching from the south?


Maybe they had a plane to catch.
