Aeroflot Flight 217 was a non-scheduled international passenger flight from Orly Airport in Paris to Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow, with a stopover at Shosseynaya Airport (now Pulkovo Airport) in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). On 13 October 1972, the Ilyushin Il-62 airliner operating the flight crashed on approach to Sheremetyevo, with the loss of all 164 passengers and crew of 10. The fatalities include 118 Russians, 38 Chileans, 6 Algerians, one East German and one Australian.[1] At the time, it was the world's deadliest aviation disaster, until it was surpassed by the Kano air disaster in 1973.[2] As of 2021, this remains the second-deadliest accident involving an Il-62, after LOT Flight 5055, and the second-deadliest on Russian soil, after Aeroflot Flight 3352.[3][4][5]

Crash

Shortly before the expected landing, the plane was flying at the altitude of 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) and received the ATC instructions to descend to 400 metres (1,300 ft). The crew confirmed and started to descend, but later there was no action to return to the horizontal flight. The plane passed the 400-metre (1,300 ft) mark with 20 m/s (39 kn; 72 km/h; 45 mph) vertical velocity, no expected report to ATC and engines still running at low thrust. It crashed shortly afterwards, with landing gear up, spoilers retracted and horizontal speed about 620 kilometres per hour (330 kn; 390 mph).[1]

Investigation

The cause of the crash could not be determined. Investigators did believe the most probable cause was the 'psycho-physiological incapacitation of the crew for reasons unknown'.[6] Somewhere at the 500–600 metres (1,600–2,000 ft). elevation, 30-25 seconds before impact, the pilots either have been incapacitated or lost control of the plane.[1]

Der Aeroflot-Flug 217 (Flugnummer: SU217, Funkrufzeichen: AEROFLOT 217) war ein Charterflug der Aeroflot vom Flughafen Paris-Orly zum Flughafen Moskau-Scheremetjewo mit einem planmäßigen Zwischenstopp auf dem Flughafen Leningrad-Schossejnaja am 13. Oktober 1972. Kurz vor der Landung der Maschine vom Typ Iljuschin Il-62 auf dem Zielflughafen kam es zum Absturz, wobei alle 174 Insassen starben. Es handelte sich zu diesem Zeitpunkt um den weltweit schwersten Flugunfall (bis zum Flugunfall bei Kano 1973), den schwersten Flugunfall in der Sowjetunion, den schwersten der Aeroflot (jeweils bis zum Aeroflot-Flug 3352) und den schwersten mit einer Iljuschin Il-62 (bis zum LOT-Flug 5055).
