but in the same breath tells them they should try by all means to land. Thus he suggested an approach that would violate the airport, planes and pilots minimas.
You understand Polish, I believe. Please look at the whole sentence where the bolded quote is an excerpt from.

Can you give insight into what the JAK-40 pilot had in mind when saying at 10:25:06:0 "No, nam się udało tak w ostatniej chwili wylądować. No, natomiast powiem szczerze, że możecie spróbować, jak najbardziej. Dwa APM-y są, bramkę zrobili, tak, że możecie spróbować, ale... Jeżeli wam się nie uda za drugim razem, to proponuję wam lecieć na przykład do Moskwy, albo gdzieś." Especially the "No, natomiast powiem szczerze, że możecie spróbować, jak najbardziej". Here the intonation and other nuances play a role. Could "natomiast powiem szczerze" be ironic or a kind of shrug, or even in fact mean in this context the opposite? Like if you say in English: Of course, you can always try, could in this context mean "useless to try".

If so, the view presented in a link in a previous post that the message did not get through to the 101 PIC, that landing was not encouraged looks plausible.

The end result, of course is that if the 101 PIC took it as YAK-40 crew suggestion, the way it was said is secondary.
