Aircraft and crew

Aircraft

Antonov An-10A, registration СССР-11215 (factory number 0402502, MSN 25-02), was manufactured at the Voronezh Aviation Plant on 3 February 1961. On 7 February 1961 it was delivered to Aeroflot's Kharkiv division. It was equipped with 4 turboprop Ivchenko AI-20 engines. At the time of the accident the aircraft accumulated 11,105 flight cycles and 15,483 flying hours.

Crew

The flight crew responsible flying the aircraft was from the 87th Flight Squad (Kharkiv United Squadron). Captain Vladimir Vasiltsov was in charge of this flight;[1] first officer Andrei Burkovskii, navigator Aleksandr Grishko, flight engineer Vladimir Shchokin, and radio operator Konstantin Peresechanskii were also in the flight deck.[2]

Synopsis

Flight 1491 took off from Moscow-Vnukovo Airport at 10:39 en route to Kharkiv in the Ukrainian SSR. While descending from its cruising altitude of 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) to an altitude of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), the Antonov An-10 suffered structural failure resulting in the separation of both wings.[3] The fuselage then plunged into a wooded area, killing all 114 passengers and 8 crew on board the aircraft.[4][5][6]

Aftermath

Pravda reported on the crash of Flight 1491 shortly after it happened. At the time, it was unusual in the Soviet Union for there to be press reports on domestic air crashes.[7]

The probable cause of the crash was determined to be the center wing section failing due to a fatigue crack in the lower central wing panel.[8]

Following this accident, Aeroflot ceased the operation of An-10.[9]
