Descripción:
Whilst inbound to Cagliari, after radar contact, the pilot reportedly elected to discontinue the published NDB approach procedure and instead began a let down to the west apparently in order to avoid local thunderstorm activity. It flew into Conca d'Oru at a height of 2000 feet (610 m). Reportedly the ILS of the active runway was unserviceable at the time.

PROBABLE CAUSE: Crew misjudgment and inadequate ATC assistance (controller distracted).
