Can any of our Russian colleagues tell us if the TU-134 can actually do fog?
With an impact of 400m short, 150m offset with a wing low it sounds as if this aircraft was never actually stabilised on the ILS. The crew have already suggested an 'ILS malfunction' but the first reaction to that is normally execute a GA.... not press on.
Sounds like Mister Cock-Up is visiting again.

Tu134 minima is CAT2 (DA100', RVR 350m). Autopilot must be off below 100' (manual landing only). Samara UWWW can provide CAT1 only (DA200).
ILS problem
? Human factor ? ATC role ?

Thanks Megapilot.... best wishes to you in Kazakhstan.....
The only thing about vis I have heard so far is 'Heavy Fog' which is a bit meaningless. A figure of 60m DH and 800m RVR is mentioned above is that correct for UWWW?
Any idea what the reported RVR was ?
