8. "Landing systems’ incompatibility may have caused the crash" – military analyst
Edited on Sat Apr-10-10 03:23 PM by jakeXT
Speaking to RT, defence analyst and former Polish military pilot Mikhal Fisher noted a previously unmentioned factor that possibly was one of the reasons for the crash.


"In the Soviet Union/Russia they use a unique instrumental landing system called PRMG. It works almost exactly the same way as the international Western system ILS. However, the two are not compatible. The Polish airplane was modified to use the ILS, as the airplane was mainly flying to various airports that use it," Fisher told RT.
