Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines

The single engine airplane departed Toko on a flight to Uchur, carrying three passengers and a crew of two. On board were two unauthorized passengers who wanted to be dropped by the River Algoma to go fishing. The crew made a stop and dropped both passengers by the river then decided to takeoff again. But the available distance of 150-180 meters was insufficient and the aircraft's speed at takeoff was too low so it struck the river surface and crashed inverted in shallow water. All three occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was completing a local spraying mission and following two successful sorties, returned to the farm to refuel with fertilizers. The aircraft took off again at 1118LT on a third sortie. Seventeen minutes later, while flying at a height of 50 meters, the crew initiated a right turn when the airplane collided with a bird that entered the carburetor air intake. This caused the engine to lost power. The aircraft lost height and crashed on a road, bursting into flames. The captain was seriously injured and the copilot was killed.

The crew was dispatched in Novyi Buh to perform local crop spraying mission. Several rotations were conducted in the morning and the afternoon. During the lunch break, the crew consumed alcoholic beverages. At the end of the afternoon, four employees from the local farm came on board the airplane for a local flight. After takeoff, the crew performed hazardous manoeuvres at low height when the aircraft struck trees, stalled and crashed in a wooded area, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed and all six occupants were killed.

The four engine airplane departed Moscow-Sheremetyevo Airport on a regular schedule service to Freetown with an intermediate stop in Dakar. After takeoff from runway 24R at Sheremetyevo Airport, while in initial climb, the crew raised the landing gear. Eight seconds later, the fire alarm for engine n°1 sounded. The crew shut down the engine in accordance with the Flight Manual and used the three stages of fire suppression systems. Thirty seconds later, the fire alarm coupled to the engine n°2 sounded as well. The same procedure was adopted for the second engine and the crew declared an emergency. At a speed of 320 km/h and a height of 160 meters with the undercarriage retracted and the flaps down at 30°, the pilot-in-command initiated a right turn. Unfortunately, he was unable to maintain a safe altitude and the airplane lost speed and height while in a high angle of attack. From a height of 75 meters, the airplane stalled, banked left to 70° then nosed down 20° and crashed in a wooded area located in Mendeleyevo, about 11,4 km northwest of the airport. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 90 occupants were killed.

After takeoff from Mayskiy Airfield, while climb to a height of about 35-40 meters, the engine started to misfire and black smoke came out from the exhaust pipe. The crew attempted an emergency landing in an open field and the aircraft came to rest, bursting into flames. All 12 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

Enroute from Leningrad to Kiev, the crew was cleared to descend from 9,000 to 7,800 meters in order to avoid a thunderstorm area. Few minutes later, the three engine aircraft entered a dive. During an uncontrolled descent, the aircraft lost several elements then partially disintegrated and eventually crashed at a speed of 810 km/h in fields and wooded areas. A huge crater was found at the point of impact, near the village of Verbovichi, and debris scattered all around on an area of 22,7 km2 (6,5 km long and 3,5 km wide). The accident was not survivable.

While taxiing at Poltavskaya Airport, the single engine airplane went out of control, veered off taxiway and collided with a fuel tank. There were no casualties while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Crashed in unknown circumstances after the crew got distracted while completing a crop spraying mission. Both pilots were injured.

Crashed after the crew got distracted in flight. There were no casualties.

The approach to Dnepropetrovsk Airport was completed in strong crosswinds. Following several errors on part of the crew on approach, the captain led the aircraft descending below the glide and failed to initiate a go-around. Upon touchdown, the left main gear collapsed and the left wing hit the ground. The aircraft veered off runway to the left and came to rest in flames. All 35 occupants were evacuated, among them 14 were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.
