Polish investigator to Moscow to study final report on air crash

MOSCOW, October 18 (Itar-Tass) -- The Polish envoy on the
investigation in the crash of the late President Lech Kaczynski's
airliner, Edmund Klich, will arrive here on Monday to study a final report
drafted by the Interstate Aviation Committee (MAK), a source in the civil
aviation authorities told Itar-Tass on Sunday.
Klich will study the final report for two days, the source said. "It
is not ruled out that on Wednesday or on Thursday (October 20-21) the
final report, in which the Interstate Aviation Committee has established
the reasons for the air crash, will be made public," the source said.
The Interstate Aviation Committee told Itar-Tass earlier that the MAK
technical committee has finalized the gathering of evidence in the Polish
presidential airliner crash case and started drafting a final report. "The
MAK technical committee entered the final stage of making up a final
report, analyzing all flight circumstances, including the emergence and
development of an extraordinary situation in the flight, and drawing
conclusions on the reasons for the air crash and giving recommendations
for a higher flight safety," a source in the committee said.
The final report "will be discussed with Edmund Klich and passed to
him under the Convention on International Civil Aviation."
The Polish presidential airliner Tu-154M with the official delegation
crashed on April 10 outside Smolensk, where Lech Kaczynski was flying to
attend the mourning events in Katyn. The air crash killed all 96 people
aboard the airliner, including the president and his wife.
Russia has already passed to Poland the deciphered flight recorders
and several other documents related to the investigation into this
tragedy. Along with the investigation, which the Interstate Aviation
Committee is holding with Polish experts, Russia and Poland are taking
separate investigating measures.
