Title: Ukraine crash due to pilot error
Post by: casper on February 17, 2007, 07:47:45 PM
The official report into the crash of a Russian passenger jet over Ukraine last year has concluded that pilot error was to blame.

All 170 people on board the Pulkovo Airlines Tupolev 154 were killed after it came down in bad weather in a field near Donetsk last August.

The report said a trainee pilot was at the controls at the time of the accident.
