Right; with Olympic games in Sochi in 2014 I think it will be right and proper to start figuring out what's exactly there - on pprune -
say, a year in advance. :o)

BOAC, about "a metre" no one mentioned never in 1,300 pages in wild dreams
- probably because it was not a 'PAR' approach?

Now, never mind 2014 - can you translate the CVR in 2010?

Alice,
thank you.
Regarding the time shift, as I wrote before, for 4-3-2 km redouts by ATC, they are around 5 seconds too early.

Regarding the accuracy of the equipment. Well, this is why you have minimas to be respected.

Thank you, A. Are there any Polish or Russian AF pilots on here?

Kulver - that requires a log-in!

Never mind - with many thanks to another PPruner I now have an English translation from way back in the flight, and there is NO ATC control for the approach at all. Merely information on range and what appears to be a PAR report only of 'on glide/on centreline', so NO ATC controlled PAR approach, confirmed. It appears to be a self-computed approach and it might just be that the Captain set 3 degrees FPA at top of glide (he says "-3") if that is an option on the 154. Apart from range and confimation of correct path, ATC ONLY say turn your lights on/clear to land and give a wind readout.

Surprisingly there is hardly any dialogue between the PF and the PM or Eng on what PF is doing during the last 200m or so of the glide - unless it has been removed, so why they dived at the ground is unknown.

It looks like there were no real coordination between and ATC and Pilots.They didn't know what expected of each other.
If the ATC got the impression they had problems with Russian numbers - why didn't he switch to English? Can't say numbers=maybe can't understand them? Or at least ask - do you understand the numbers in Russian?

Do you mean the ATC couldn't speak any (aviation) English at all?

BOAC, no login, just CAPTCHA

Probi, Criss, Cpt speaks perfect russian, including any digital readout he needed. Also russian and polish numerals are EXACTLY the same, exluding only "second": Language Course, Liczby - Цифры

No, I mean if the ATC thought (as he said in the interview) they didn't, he should have clarified the situation?

Kulverstukas - I know that.

Probie - this came from a very emotional, distorted interview, and also it's unclear whether it's genuine. Anyway, he couldn't clarify anything in English - they would have spoken English in the first place (like they did with Minsk and Moscow) if ATC knew it.

OK, probably you're right, and it wouldn't change anything anyway. I was just wondering. (and by 'clarifying' I meant a question in Russian about the numbers - vy ponjali nomera, something like that.)

probie, mjr Protasiuk speaks fluent russian and english and nowhere in CVR transcription I can find any sign that he has any trouble in switching between native polish, which speaks crew, english and russian.

But this part of conversation, may be, can explain why ATC was so irritated about conversation:

But as Kulverstukas says, it's almost impossible for Poles not to understand Russian numerals.

Kulverstukas, I have no doubt about the Capt. I was trying to put myself into the ATC's shoes. But, if the interview might not be genuine even...

probie, even IF the interview was genuine, ATC was not swearing on Holy Bible to tell the truth, the whole truth and only truth

Anyway, why mention the numbers, then? Triggering second thoughts about why not make sure if they did or did not. Have trouble with numerals.
But it must really have been a shock, so maybe it's too much to try to find any rationality there.
