Pilot Error in KHL crash

Investigators: Pilot error caused Lokomotiv plane crash

is The Interstate Aviation Committee a Russian bases committee? or is it international?

seems to be Russian. I would not trust a russian aviation council that is facing the rampant allegations of un safe air travel in Russia to quote pilot error.

The Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) (Russian: is an executive body overseeing the use and management of civil aviation in the Commonwealth of Independent States. MAK was established in 1991, when 12 states of the former Soviet Union signed the Intergovernmental Agreement on Civil Aviation and Use of Airspace.[1] The committee is headquartered in Yakimanka District, Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow, Russia.[2] As of 2011 Tatiana Anodina is the director.
The Air Accident Investigation Commission of the IAC regularly investigates plane crashes in the former Soviet republics.[3]
States served by the IAC include Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.[2] At one time Latvia and Lithuania had observer status to the IAC.[4]

this kinda stuff always divides my feelings..

on the one hand, this is horrible for the surviving families to learn.. that it was your husband, sister, son, etc. that caused the crash.. when in reality it was just a tragic accident that occurred because someone made a mistake (no matter how routine taking the brake off should be).. i feel bad for the families when these articles come out

but at the same time, it'd be hard to justify not releasing the reason when everyone wants to know what caused the accident

just a sad situation..
