Due to mu language knowledge I just translated the
Polish TV and internet portal information to this forum.
Nowhere have I accused anybody of anything,
I just quoted information, as it was coming.
I, following the information I got, mentioned all
possible causes of the incident (see my posts)
and brought up all the "dementi" given in due time.
I was as shocked as you were, that the main information
channel of the Polish TV mentioned in prime time
the "smell of alcohol". It was not me !!!
Later I quoted many times that "the pilots were sober",
as the official test results came out.
Now to answer some of your questions:
1. It was a UN mission, not Polish Army,
so the decision, which airline to chose was done
by the UN administration, not the Polish authorities.
2. The information on ILS can be found in Polish AIP on line:
http://www.ais.pata.pl/aip/ (you can register and log in for free)
3. I have done research on AEA, and appreciate their safety record.
bradford737:
Just relax and keep the facts coming.
The fact that there where two captains and one F/O is because it was a long night flight, one of the captains is to reinforce the crew to avoid fatigue, it was no instruction flight. All crew members are well experienced pilots.
The above quote is the kind of posting I am looking forward to,
this brings something to the case, and not the emotional attacks.
As well as this one:
We must learn, learn about the contributing factors to the accident ( Yes, it was an accident, according Spanish laws RD 21/2003, substantial damage to an aircraft ), and know how to prevent this lethal combination who was about to kill more than one hundred people.
Sorry, if anybody feels offended by my posts,
but I am just looking for answers.
Since no factual answers or professional comments are coming any more,
it looks like there is no need to follow this topic any more.
With all respect.
