The case of the tragic plane crash and the death of the Polish pilot is inactive under investigation. Investigators are already in possession of an F-16 black box and its records may prove crucial in determining why the device crashed in Radom. At the same time TVN24 reached recordings from the flight control tower, which are very disturbing. It turns out that the flight controller mistook 2 machines and led to a dangerous situation in the air. This confirms that before the tragedy "Slab" took part in the argument.
Chaos in Radom. 2 planes were only 300 metres apart
The Thursday crash occurred during the last rehearsals before the weekend party. The F-16 pilot then operated under the code name Tiger01 or Tiger1, or Tiger1 and Tiger1. The pilot of the FA-50 aircraft, or Eagle 01, was active in the event.
According to TVN24, erstwhile Major Krakowian was expecting approval to fly a training flight over the airport in Radom (the alleged holding company), which was to be held at an altitude of 12,000 feet (about 3.6 kilometres), a pilot seated behind the FA-50 controls appeared close him. "Slab" then contacted the tower to explain the situation. And that's erstwhile the mistake occurred.
– Eagle01, I confirm, is F-16 in the holding at flight level 120 – the controller passed. However, this was a communication addressed to the FA-50 pilot, not the F-16, who asked about the situation.
– He just crossed the tallness of our holding, about a 1000 feet from me," said the clearly upset Krakowians at any point. Let's add that 1,000 feet is just 300 meters, dangerously close distance, given the velocity that both machines are developing. – Did you not hear the correspondence with him? – the controller replied, which shows problems in communication.
A disturbance at Radom Airport. Controller incorrect pilots and aircraft
Pilot F-16 realized that the controller in Radom had confused the operators of both machines. – Confirm 100% that there is no another movement in the area – said "Slab". – The only movement in this area is you and F-16 at flight level 120 – the controller replied to him, which proves a fatal mistake.
In the further part of the correspondence, the major removed the controller's mistake and reported to him that the FA-50 had exceeded the level of 100, or 10,000 feet he was expected to hold. – Okay, thank you for the information – he learned from the tower.
Only after that, the controller told the FA-50 pilot that he was to decision to another sector, and "Slab" that he had clean airspace. shortly after, there was a disaster.
