Flight Data Recorders:

1. Black Box MŁP-14-5 (Russia)
2. ATM-QAR Quick Access Recorder (Poland)
3. Flight Management System (FMS) (USA)
Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)

The angle-of-attack values are taken from a Russian and a Polish recorder, respectively. Both devices are merely data recorders and not measurement devices

Conclusions:

The final reports of both MAK and Polish Air Incident Investigation Committee do not include any information as to the methodology of the analysis or provide any data which would make the analysis replicable.

Data recovered from some of the aircraft’s recording devices have been subject to arbitrary alterations and some of the data (FMS and TAWS logs) have not been included in the analysis.

FMS Data Extraction for NTSB Identification: ENG10SA025.  Polish Government TU-154 Crash Investigation.

Data Extraction conclusion:

The amount of raw binary data that was captured electronically is very large. UASC software engineering can convert additional parameters to human-readable format if they are needed for the investigation.

Horizontal Plane Trajectory Near the Birch Tree

Horizontal Plane Trajectory Near the Birch Tree: According to TAWS #37 and #38 logs, the aircraft did not change its magnetic course 140 meters past the birch tree, which is inconsistent with information in both MAK and KBWL reports.

Uncontrolled Roll to the Left

Are flight parameters reported by MAK as evidence of an uncontrolled roll to the left consistent with what we know about the aerodynamics of this particular type of aircraft?

Taking into account the effects of the aircraft rolling to the left as well as losing a considerable amount of airfoil surface, we can conclude that the critical angle of attack would have been exceeded one second after left wing’s impacting the birch tree.

Airflow vectors

The behavior of the aircraft after losing part of the wing has also been analyzed by a team of researchers lead by prof. Brawn of the University of Akron.

As the aircraft loses part of its left wing, drag works to counteract roll with the force equivalent to air moving at 5 meters per second, applied to the top of the right wing and to the bottom of the left wing.

The left wing moves downwards with an initial acceleration of -23.9, which then decreases to -2.5 deg/s2 because of drag induced by the rolling motion   The left wing moves downwards with an initial acceleration of -23.9, which then decreases to -2.5 deg/s2 because of drag induced by the rolling motion
The net effect is that the aircraft is being rolled to the left (3.0 to 0.55 deg/s2)   The net effect is that the aircraft is being rolled to the left (3.0 to 0.55 deg/s2)

Conclusions

1. The horizontal plane trajectory of Tu-154M, reconstructed from TAWS alert logs, does not change 140 meters after the birch tree. Impacting the tree resulting in separation of part of the wing and an uncommanded roll would also have to result in altering the aircraft’s horizontal plane trajectory. Such change in trajectory is inconsistent with TAWS Alert Log #38

2. Flight parameters reported by MAK and KBWL describe a roll to the left event which is inconsistent with technical accounts of aerodynamic properties if this type of aircraft.

3. If Tu-154M 101 had lost part of its left wing on impact with the tree, it would have to roll to the left, pitch downwards, and impact the ground no later than one second after hitting the tree. 21

The blue line does not contain any explicit information from TAWS #38 or any of the FMS logs. We do see that the blue and purple lines cross at one point. All TAWS and FMS logs were known to both MAK and KBWL very early into their investigations.

This slide shows the method used by KBWL to disguise the existence of this data. The fact of this disguise suggests that KBWL is fully aware of the fact that this data is inconsistent with their final conclusions.

SOME TECHNICAL AND STRUCTURAL ASPECTS
OF THE SMOLENSK PLANE CRASH
Author: Dr Gregory Szuladzinski
Independent Technical Advisor
of the Parliamentary Team of Antoni Macierewicz
Dr Gregory SZULADZINSKI received his Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Warsaw University of Technology in 1965 and Doctoral Degree in Structural Mechanics from University of Southern California in 1973. From 1981 until present, he has been working in Australia in the fields of aerospace, railway, power, offshore, automotive and process industries, as well as in rock mechanics, underground blasting and military applications. Especially since the early 90’ties he has been doing computer simulations of such violent phenomena as rock breaking with the use of explosives, fragmentation of metallic objects, shock damage to buildings, structural collapse, fluid-structure interaction, blast protection and aircraft impact protection. He has done a number of state-of-the-art studies showing explicit fragmentation of structures and other objects. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineers Australia, member of its Structural and Mechanical College, a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The loss of the wing’s leading edge near the fuselage and the entire left-most part of the wing had two aerodynamic effects: loss of lift on the left side and increase of drag. The first effect induces roll to the left, while the second one induces a change in magnetic heading.

Phase III

The rear part of the airframe with wings and vertical stabilizer rolls to the left independently of the front part which stays in its natural position

Summary of Results

The main causes of the crash were two explosions taking place just before landing.

One of them impacted the left wing near its mid-point and caused an extensive damage, effectively breaking the wing in two. The other, inside the fuselage, caused an profound damage and dismemberment of the latter, as well as loosening the connection of the left wing and fuselage. The landing in a woody area, no matter how unfortunate and at what angle, was incapable of causing the documented fragmentation of the structure.

Gaping Holes In Official Reports
Diana West: The answers Russia presented to the world in its official 2011 crash report are wholly unsatisfactory. Indeed, the Moscow-controlled crash investigation seems to have been designed to suppress or tamper with evidence to exonerate Russia of all responsibility for an accident -- or guilt for a crime.

In 1952, Congress investigated the Katyn Forest Massacre and proved Soviet guilt; in 2010 and 2011, there were calls in Congress for an independent investigation into the Smolensk crash.

Such an investigation is urgently required in 2012, and not only to solve the mystery of a vexing crash. We must find out whether the West has once again been party to another Big Lie out of Moscow.

TNT After All ...
 
Did Polish Military Prosecutors' Office lie to the international media during its press conference in Warsaw on October 30, 2012? Was the international public opinion purposefully misled by the Polish military prosecutors? It is noteworthy, that on October 30, 2012, during the international press conference in Warsaw concerning the discovery of the TNT on the wreckage of the Polish president's plane, Mr. Szelag said the following: "'It is not true that investigators found traces of TNT or nitro-glycerine,' said Colonel Ireneusz Szelag from the military prosecutors' office." (Source: Reuters - "Poland denies explosives found on wreck of crashed jet")
Dr. Michael Baden Interview
Dr. Michael Baden, Ph.D.
World-renowned forensic pathologist goes on the record: "I have been doing autopsies for 50 years, and I've investigated more than fifteen, twenty airplane crashes […] I've been in countries all over the world where families think that the government is hiding something. Whether it is Zimbabwe or Israel, or Philippines, the government may not like an outside person checking to make sure they got it right. [But,] they never interfered with that. The family, the next of kin, always has the right to do what the wishes of the family are. In the 21st century, the body of the dead person no longer belongs to the state. It belongs to the family. So, it is unusual - something that I have never experienced before - where the government [of Poland] has not permitted the famil[ies]" to conduct independent forensic examinations of their loved ones' remains [...] I've never heard of a body coming back to a country and the family being unable to open up a casket. I've never heard of the family not being able to get an autopsy… Read more here
