The CASA case was not the only PAR accident in PAF recently.
12 June 2001 the airbase in Powidz held night flights of Su-22 fighter-bombers jets. Visibility deteriorated so rapidly, that upon landing a young pilot refused to continue with the next flight. Not any one of the commanders, however, took notice of that. Another crew boarded Su-22 cockpit: trained pilot and instructor. The approaches were based on PAR procedures The official minima were clouds ceiling at least 100 m . In Powidz at that time it was significantly lower.
After the first unsuccessful approach by the pilot, the instructor took over the controls. "In this situation, the only right decision was to divert to reserve airfield with VFR conditions, which was prepared to accept the plane '- assessed in the report of accident investigation committee. Unfortunately, the instructor took a different decision. Su-22 crashed in a similar way as the presidential Tupolev Tu-154 - into a tree about 1 km from the threshold, to the right side of the approach axis. Probably the pilot took the, barely visible in a cloud, lights of the hangar roads for the runway lights. Both pilots did not have the slightest chance of survival.
