A few facts and conclusions.

The captain is cleared for takeoff . The procedure was to turn right after takeoff
and intercept (KAD R-220) khalde radial 220. and then to turn right at 5000 feet
and intercept (CAK R-210) chekkah radial 210 (inbound to CAK).
But right after takeoff the tower clears the airplane to proceed direct to chekkah
to avoid passing through the center of the storm.
With the plane on track to chekkah, the tower asks the pilot to turn left heading 270 degrees
to avoid incoming landing traffic from chekkah.
the pilot turns left . But does not stop at ( 270 )degrees but keeps turning , the tower asks the
pilot to correct and turn to 270 , as the aircraft heading wound down to 140 degrees the controllers became alarmed
that the aircraft was turning back towards land and high terrain .But after repeated requests the airplane vanishs from radar.
Thats why the wreckedge was found so close to the shore and south of the airport after 4 minutes of flight.
