Poland receives new documents related to Kaczynski plane crash
Russia has delivered new documents to Poland regarding the late Polish President Lech Kaczynski's plane crash near Smolensk in April.
The handover procedure took place at the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) in Moscow on Wednesday evening.
Prior to the handover ceremony Russian and Polish journalists were shown boxes with the documents which were handed over to Polish authorized representative Edmund Klich.
"Documentation being handed over contains a total of 251 titles and over 10,000 pages," IAC deputy chief Oleg Yermolov told journalists.
Poland will receive the original documents that were on board the presidential plane and found at the crash site, he said.
They include, in particular, an operation guide, the aircraft design documentation, technical descriptions for installed equipment and devices, various guides, sketchbooks with layout drawings and electrical diagrams, a collection of aero-navigation information and other documents.
"Also handed over were the results of the analysis of fuel and lubricants, with which the airplane was filled up," Yermolov said.
Poland will also receive a collection of the Russian aero-navigation information containing national rules and requirements for international flights in the Russian airspace, aero-navigation and airfield service, meteorological support and radio communications, the official said.
Earlier Poland received the documentation containing more than 60 titles regarding the air crash investigation, the IAC deputy chairman said.
The Tupolev Tu-154M airplane with a high-ranking Polish delegation on board crashed near the Severny airfield near Smolensk on April 10. All 96 people on board the aircraft were killed.
