just saw the radar track of the aircraft.
fully established on the ILS, then in just under 10 seconds the aircraft goes from 2500 feet and 175 knots at 5.3NM (from the field, NOT DME) to 1900 feet and 215 knots at 4.5NM (again from the field, NOT DME), which is the last recorded position just before impact.
no i can not share the recording until the report comes out so please dont ask.

A prudent pilot familiar with RNAV would most likely be reduced to 180 KIAS, or less by that point in the approach.
This is the future. Credit to the civil aviation authorities. 
Using brand "A" box, that leg from TAXAL to TERIK will result in about a 2.2-2.3 NM lead point for the turn approaching TERIK at the max of 220k, no wind, and a roll-out on track the same distance from TERIK outbound. With the lead point required for the turn at RN363 at the max of 210k, that leaves about 0.5-0.6 NM of 'wings level' time on the 'base'.
A poor man's RF turn.

Beats me. But, Jepp codes the missed approach as an RNAV overlay, so the entire procedure can be flown in LNAV, including the missed approach holding pattern.
One would hope they all are...
Credit to the designers of the approach also, but why not an RNAV miss?

A 737-200 with RNAV?

The RNAV approach Runway 12 came about because of the Air Bus circle to land crash northwest of the airport, not the later 737 that crashed into flat terrain southeast of the airport.
