After the fall of the Polish President, the investigation is underway for a long time. Claims to the Russian side were put forward more than once, that the investigation of the causes of the aircraft falling to the death of Lech Kachinsky and his retinue was intentionally delayed.
However, as it is now being clarified, after long investigative measures, the circumstance became the main one, which was due to which a disaster occurred near Smolensk on the approach to the North airfield. And not that the airfield is not intended to receive civilian aircraft, and therefore is not equipped with proper navigation means.
The culprit of the accident can be considered the commander of the Polish troops, who was in the cockpit, while drunk and insisted on the work of landing “at all costs”. The crew’s negotiations revealed the phrase of mutual remarks, which said: “It will be dissatisfied”. To whose address this phrase was uttered, it is difficult to determine from negotiations. Nevertheless, the commander was in the average state of intoxication, t. To. The contents of ethyl alcohol at a dose of about 0 were found in the blood of the deceased.6 PMILE. It is strange that this information was not announced before.
In addition to the fact that there was clear pressure on the pilots, it also turned out that the pilot managing a aircraft had a raid only twenty -six hours. In addition, the altimeter was put incorrectly, which was set to normal pressure of 760 mm, which is why in inconsistent weather conditions, showed with a big difference. As a result, the height determined by the altimeter turned out to be one hundred and seventy meters less, and landing was carried out on autopilot.
Despite the fact that the emergency regime devices that the electrical laboratory tested a warning about a too critical decrease and recommended that the helm is pulled out, this was ignored even a clash with the ground.
