Yes Olga, because an ILS system can be easily moved from place to place.
Not if the pilot was expecting the ILS to be in place, as it was when he flew Tusk 3 days earlier--which is the point I am making here. Refrain from resorting to insults--it reflects poorly on you, not I.
On another note: What if the approach was changed from an ILS (Tusk's visit) to a PAR approach (Kaczynksi's)?
""They're available at some military airfields and allow the controller to talk you right down..."
"The PAR needs alignment every hour if it's not been used for an approach."

Wouldn't precise information be critial from traffic control? And if precise information was not given...? Or if it was neglected to be aligned....?
See the Miroslawiec report: aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20080123-0
"PRIMARY CAUSE: Inadvertent loss of spatial and situational awareness by the aircraft crew during final stages of PAR approach, which, within 12 seconds period before crash, resulted in the aircraft's bank increasing unmonitored and accompanying altitude loss, while the flight crew apparently was trying to establish visual contact with runway and approach lights."
In this case, however, the findings were made by Polish investigators...
