"Skrzydlata Polska" a professional aviation magazine in Poland,
in its September issue published
the results of their independent investigation of the
incident at EPKS.

Translation of some interesting parts, new to the case:
1. they already missed to the right the CZE VOR,
mandatory in approach procedure
2. arriving from the south they turned to early to join 110
5 km from the runway line
3. they flew over Gądki grain elevator after the second procedural
turn with just 200-250m over the 40 m building.
4. after Gądki they made 45 bank turn and joined the EPKS runway line
5. a Cessna in pattern at Zerniki was 100 m ABOVE the 737 with
just 300 m lateral spacing !!!!
6. the turn MUST have been initiated by the capitain (not the female FO)
because from the FO position the EPKS runway was NOT VISIBLE.
7. the EPKS runway lights were NOT IN OPERATION.
Alltogether a really scary scenario with possible mid-air and groud collisions.
At our monthly AOPA meeting last week we invited
a member of the Polish Accident Commision to talk on GA safety issues,
and he confirrmed (off record, of course) most of the above.
He also confirmed, that TCAS was activated on the 737.
