According to the spokesman for the Polish Air Force, only the first approach was made using PAR. The minima for PAR at EPMI are (reportedly, I don't have any papers for this) 80m ceiling and 1000 metres visibility, and the weather was 90m/3000m, so above minima. Anyway, the approach was aborted, but the runway was in sight, and the pilots decided to make a tight visual circuit. So the second approach was not conducted with PAR, nor any other instrument approach system.
