What exactly was the cause of the crash ?

Poor weather and low visibility.
However there are tons of conspiracy theories regarding this air crash.

No doubt AVM razzaq was a veteran pilot who shot down Soviet jets near pak afghan border.

I've served in Kohat and read quite a bit of this crash. I personally think that the weather and visibility are more plausible explanation for the crash because I visited the site as well where it happened with an officer experienced in investigations. Still a tragic incident and heart goes out to the families. I served with a naval officer who's father was also in the crash.

Yes weather and visibility factor is the most agreed reason among PAF officers .My fathers course mate was part of the investigation team and they concluded that and rejected all conspiracy theories.
Are you part of Pakistan Air Force by any chance?

Hi,

The same reason that cost Kobe Bryant and his daughter and friend's lives in the helicopter crash---.Not showing enough concern for ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS & flying an obsolete aircraft.

Arrogant high strung pilot---.

This pilot flew right into a mountainside---because he believed that there was no mountain side---.

The team was running late---supposedly he tried to make it in time in not so friendly weather---.

No professional air force would have flown their air chief in that piece of sh-it aircraft---.

Weather and visibility was a cause but then again pilot error was also involved....
