1. The original title of the article was: "Prezydent nie jest pakunkiem, moze decydowac o ladowaniu" - and my translation was completely accurate.

Probably Kaczynski goons were hoping mad and whining to onet and threatening lawsuits as they always do and so the title was changed. Complain to them.

2. In the article, Kaczynski states that sterile cockpit never applied in Poland to VIPs and never will. (Yes or no?) How is that for law in Poland? (Poland actually has so called HEAD law already that prevents even politicians from interfering with pilots during the flight and it was binding law at the time of Smolensk disaster).

3. Kaczynski accuses Tbilisi pilot that he refused orders to fly to Georgia at war not because it was unsafe but because Tusk ordered the pilot to prevent Kaczynski from becoming hero of Georgia (Yes or no?).

4. The pilots knew about the ravine, discussed in cockpit twice, and yet they descended to about 20 m above runway altitude before they tried to execute goaround. (That would be unacceptable even with CAT II ILS). Why? How does any pilot worth his salt do something like that, unless the idea is to take a risk trying to land? To me, there is ZERO proof that they ever intended goaround at any decision height even radio altitude 100 m. It was discussed here 10 times to sunday.
