Here you go dipstick from the article you posted. "...Five days before the accident the airport was declared ready to receive both the Tu-154 and the Yakovlev Yak-40 used by the Polish presidential air wing, down to a minimums of 100m (330ft) height and 1,000m visibility." Read the emphasized portion ten times so you can get it through your head. That is 100x1000 min... The above picture is the approach plate for Smolensk. There are two approaches that are fall in the 100x1000 min. An ILS and a Par (Rsp + CAP). The non-precision approaches are 100x1500. The DH was 60m. Now idiot, stay of these threads because you are a fraud.

If you don't stop the ad homonym attacks, I will tell your Mommy and she will wash your mouth out with soap.

Please tell the world, how what in the world you just said means anything.

Please read carefully.

Radar had nothing to do with it. If you were a pilot you would know that. Pilot was flying an approach with a minimum altitude below which he was not authorized to descend. He descended way below that altitude trying to “sneak in under the weather.”

What happened to him is what happens to most pilots who try that repeatedly. They crash and kill all aboard.

Sorry, those are what are called “facts.”

Let me make this easy.

Pilot should not have been lower than 100 meters above the runway altitide.

He was over (then crashed into) a ravine flying at an altitide of 15 meters below the runway altitide.

He crashed. They all died.
