Another interview by Mr. Klich, this time for the RMF FM radio station.

Edmund Klich: Smolensk disaster is the effect of many years of negligence in the training

He confirmed, among others, two things:

1. The fifth person remained in the cockpit till impact.
2. They knew exactly, they are going below 100m, below minima.
3. They probably concentrated on RA instead of QFE altitude for the decision.
4. The indirect reason is in the faulty training system in the PAF.

Q: What has happened on that plane at the decision height, which is a hundred meters above the airport level? Was the crew aware that this is the moment in which to decide, whether to proceed with landing or to perform a go-around?

Edmund Klich, They were aware..

Q: And what has happened then?

Edmund Klich: They continued descent.

Q: With the full awareness that they do not see the earth? Because the land was not visible.

Edmund Klich, I just can not talk about awareness of individual crew members, but there was such a brief signal, which should bring to everyone's mind that this is the height.
