Soviet Navy - Voyenno-morskoy flot CCCP

During the takeoff roll at Kacha Airbase, the pilot started to rotate but the aircraft failed to respond. The captain decided to abandon the takeoff procedure and initiated an emergency braking maneuver. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft veered off runway to the left and rolled in a rough terrain where it came to rest, bursting into flames. All occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed by fire.

The crew was completing a training mission on Lake Donuzlav. The seaplane landed hard, bounced then came to rest and sank. All four crew members were rescued.

The four engine aircraft was completing a military/cargo flight from Aden to Tashkent with an intermediate stop in Karachi. On the leg from Karachi to Tashkent, while cruising at an altitude of 5,500 meters, weather conditions deteriorated and the aircraft entered an area of hailstorm with severe turbulences. All four engine lost power and the crew was forced to shut down the engine n°1 and 3 while the engine n°2 and 4 were reduced to idle. The crew then initiated an emergency descent when the aircraft partially disintegrated in the air and crashed. It was determined that excessive g-loads caused several parts to detach during the emergency descent.

While performing a training mission over the Azov Sea, the fire alarm sounded in the cockpit after a hotline located near the right engine broke off, causing hot air to spread in the right wing. In a hurry, the crew mistakenly shut down both engines. The aircraft lost speed and height then crashed into the Sea about 12 km off Obitochnaya. Two crew members were rescued while two others were killed.

Following a night takeoff from Anapa Airport, the crew retracted flaps prematurely. This caused the aircraft to lose height and to strike trees located 1,250 meters past the runway end and 150 meters to the right of its extended centerline. The airplane suffered damaged to its left engine and stabilizer but the crew was able to continue to climb. Following a short traffic pattern, the crew was returning to the airport when the airplane stalled and crashed in shallow water near Vityazevo, about 6 km west of Anapa Airport. The aircraft was destroyed and all nine occupants were killed. The accident occurred six minutes and 464 second after liftoff.

Eight seconds after liftoff from runway 21 at Pushkin AFB, while climbing to a height of about 50 meters in light snow, the airplane banked right, overturned then crashed in a huge explosion near the airport. All 50 occupants were killed. The aircraft was carrying many of the Pacific Fleet's senior officers from Leningrad, where they had been attending meetings with the naval command, to Vladivostok, via Khabarovsk. Among the dead were 16 admirals and generals, including the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Emil Spiridonov and his wife.

After landing on Lake Donuzlav, the seaplane hit a floating object, went out of control and sank. Three crew members were killed while a fourth occupant was rescued.

The airplane was engaged in a weather survey mission over the Baltic sea and was carrying two passengers and a crew of six. While returning to his base at Kaliningrad-Khrabrovo Airport, the crew failed to set the altimeter properly, causing the aircraft to approach the land at an insufficient altitude. In low clouds, the pilot-in-command did not realize his altitude was too low when the airplane struck trees, lost height and crashed in flames 200 meters further onto a school. The airplane was totally destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire as well as the school building. All eight occupants on board the aircraft were killed as well as 27 people on the ground, 23 children and three adults. Two other children were seriously injured.

The crew was completing a training mission and was scheduled to return to the Fedotovo-Kipelovo Airbase located west of Vologda. En route, Colonel Ivan Gladkov ordered the crew to divert to an airbase located near his house. On approach by night, the crew encountered foggy conditions and failed to realize his altitude was too low when the airplane struck trees and crashed short of runway. All 11 occupants were killed.

While parked at Leonidovo Airport, the airplane was hit by another Beriev Be-12 of the Soviet Navy that went out of control while taxiing. Both aircraft were destroyed in the collision.
