Polish Presidential Flight Crash Thread

[janeczku]

Causes of Crash

* Improper flight crew selection for the flight

* Poor flight crew coordination and cooperation (poor MCC & CRM)

* Improper, lacking weather situation analysis performed by the PIC before the flight,

* The aircraft was improperly vectored to final approach ... which resulted in rushed, non-stabilized first approach, because the aircraft started descent on final approach segment being twice as high as glide slope.

* Altimeter indications were improperly interpreted by the flight crew,

* Both pilots concentrated their attention outside of the cockpit during final seconds before crash and did not scan flight instruments

Oh, those are not quotes from the russian report on smolensk but are from the official report concerning the cfit crash of another polish military plane in 2008.

Is this astonishing analogy of pilots fuc** it up just coincidence?
