Part 1
From what the Cheka-OGPU was able to obtain and study regarding possible violations of flight rules, the commission assigned to the investigation has comments on the crew members, but they are minor. Observations in preparation and training – there were gaps in matters not related to the control of the aircraft. The protocols indicate that emergency rescue training was not carried out, and there were no extensions for training on simulators.
At Sheremetyevo Airport, in particular in VIP Terminal A (which was used by the plane transporting Prigozhin), the Rosaviatsiya employee who arrived at the scene was prohibited from working both immediately after the emergency and later. Pavel Tonkoshkurov, deputy head of the Department of Transport Security of the Federal Air Transport Agency, was involved in the investigation. He was only able to interview Sheremetyevo gas station and service employees. But he was not allowed access to any means of objective control (cameras, introscopes) or documentation other than licenses. The only thing that the airport staff managed to hand over to him, hot on his heels, was a crumpled inspection document for Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane, which was found by an airport inspector on the runway where the plane was parked before departure. This document was supposed to be with the crew in the cabin, but for some reason it was crumpled up and thrown away. The strange find was immediately confiscated from Tonkoshkurov by Russian FSB officers.
The most important part of the investigation – the flight recorders were classified. Both the speech and parametric black boxes were immediately seized by the FSB from the moment they were discovered. The experts were told that investigations were carried out even in cases where the recorders were damaged, so it was indicated in advance that their conclusions would have to rely on data from other sources. Excluding recorders. At the same time, it is known for certain that these devices are intact: to service them (almost to clean them from dirt and dust, not to decrypt them), the FSB hired employees of the Russian Aviation Register. But they were strictly forbidden to look at the contents.
