Sure, but Kommersant is still just a newspaper. The main news is MAK investigation committee first press-conference held 10 am yesterday, and their fact-sheet/press-release.
They didn't say it all, say, 1/3. Records of the talk in the flight desk are NOT released. Records and photo-material of the equipment and how it was sued and the talk in the control tower are NOT released. The route by which the plane approached the aerodrome, the parameters of the glissade, and how the plane set into it - are NOT released.
Reason for crash is NOT identified, no conclusions drawn.
Just, separate facts, some intermediate investigation results, were given.
Still, something.
The Smolesnk blog also livened up and is buzzing checking how the MAK fact sheet fits the previous data gathered on the ground.
Currently the discussion centers re how automated piloting TU154 system is compatible with UNS-1D (because fact sheet said UNS-1D was functioning throughout, this is news for Russians) - and what possibly it could be when both are installed.
The main news seems to be this automated piloting on which they were landing.
Re TAWS all seems reasonable it began to scream when the plane was above the hill-top in approach to the runway, on the other side of the big hole in the terrain. 1,100 metres away from the tree touch. First TAWS screamed (above the hilltop) then it was quiet (the plane was hoovering over the hole in the ground) - the crew must have thought they gained height, all is OK, while in fact under them was a temporarily short abbyss/hole in the ground, along their approach to the aerodrome. Then TAWS began to speak again, when the other side of the hole began growing up, the plane was approaching the other side of the hole, the 2nd hill.
