The nav/2p in the cabin was calling out the height in meters, not feet.
How was the nav reading the RA again? In meters or feet? You had better get your stories straight.
Check the transcripts DF.
"...нить радиодальномер = (fiber, hairline) rangefinder, range sensor (not thread telemeter)
У РСП-10 нет международного вторичного канала RBS а только отечественный УВД (как в гражданском ДРЛ-7СМ), все ТУ-154 сейчас летают с ответчиком в режиме RBS, поэтому диспетчер не мог видеть высоту борта.
In RSP-10 there is no ICAO SSR unit, only national secondary radar channel УВД (as in civil ДРЛ-7СМ), all TU-154’s now flying with transponder in the mode RBS, so the manager could not see the height of the airplane. ICAO ground SSR = 1030MHz, Russian УВД SSR = 740MHz.
(ATCRBS = Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System). The whole RBS meaning is often somewhat obscure.

SSR and transponders were a mammuth problem during USSR"
Tell me something when you flew in the USSR, what was found at the radio beacon and is part of the ILS?
You really are a piece of work.
I have tried to not engage you in any ad hominum attacks, but it has reached the point of incredible stupidity.
You are admittedly not a pilot. You have never flown a plane. You keep throwing out technical data as if you know what you are talking about.
With this post I have ceased trying to engage you in any reasonable debate. The pilots here on FR know you are simply spitting out technical terms with no understanding of their significance.
Aviation crash 101:
Pilots tried to descent below a minimum safe altitude and sneak into airport. They died trying.
Happens all the time. End of story.
