I defer to the experienced drivers of big iron, but ... do the data really show that the aircraft was "heading for Juhu"? Certainly it seems to intercept the extended centreline of Juhu 08 at 04:55:58 - but at a point only about a mile from the threshold. Up to that point it's been about 15° off runway heading and well south of the centreline. Is that probable on a visual approach in an A350? (For them to be "heading for Juhu" they'd have to be making a purely visual approach - even if there were any navaids at Juhu, any navigational system the crew were looking at would surely have shown them the way to their real destination.)
