Circumstances:
The airplane departed Sharjah Airport at 1902LT on a cargo service (flight KTA1732) to Karachi, carrying five crew members. About an hour and fifteen minutes into the flight, while cruising at FL350, the crew reported technical issues with the navigation system. The airplane first descended to 29,500 feet then climbed to 36,700 feet. It was then observed to enter an uncontrolled descent and crashed approximately one minute later into the Arabian Sea south of Ormara, some 287 km west southwest of Karachi. The following day, debris were found floating on water some 85 km south of Ormara. The airplane disintegrated on impact and the accident was not survivable.
