Based on MAK report the crew under pressure busted the minima and crashed the plane, however due to Polish investigation this is not true: the crew properly called for g/a but failed to execute it properly. This has tremendous implications, as it can help save lives in the future for other Tu-154 pilots in the world - the training etc will be able to be updated with those findings.
Complete horse****. This "Polish investigation" pretends that using RA for decision height was acceptable (it isn't) and that they called goaround upon reaching 100[m]. They didn't. They supposedly issued goaround command at about 20 m above runway altitude and not upon reaching 100[m] RA but when it rapidly started decreasing due to rising edge of the ravine (between 90 and 80 RA callouts). They started executing GA while way below runway level inside the ravine.

I think everybody understands why politicians would want to muddy up things a bit. What is UNACCEPTABLE is that the official Polish "expert" Klich is now doing that, completely ignoring "RA used for decision height - STUPID" issue.

They will decertify us from everything ICAO if he continues that horse****, you know. Would you certify a guy who does not see RA used for decision height as completely wrong?

Of course, in this thread we already have a fine example of someone who believes that the tapes are being tampered here by the brother of the late president and the words are inserted there to suit the Polish theory
The issue was about the Polish presentation that showed all these new phrases without proper timestamp, which misled everyone (not me) into thinking that they supposedly were issued 5 seconds prior to rapidly decreasing RA readings. That's the "tampering" that was talked about.

This issue has been completely explained already. Don't pretend to be that... silly.
