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]

Il volo Aeroflot 217 era un volo passeggeri internazionale dall'aeroporto di Parigi Orly all'aeroporto di Mosca-Šeremet'evo, con scalo all'aeroporto di Leningrado-Pulkovo. Il 13 ottobre 1972, un Ilyushin Il-62 che operava su tale rotta si schiantò in avvicinamento a Šeremet'evo, provocando la morte di tutti i 164 passeggeri e i 10 membri dell'equipaggio a bordo.[1][2] Tra di essi vi erano 118 russi, 38 cileni, 6 algerini, un tedesco orientale e un australiano. A quel tempo, fu il disastro aereo con più vittime mai accaduto, fino a quando non venne superato dall'incidente del Boeing 707 di Alia del 1973; l'incidente rimane il secondo con più vittime che coinvolge un Ilyushin Il-62, dopo il volo LOT Polish Airlines 5055[3], e il secondo su suolo russo, dopo il volo Aeroflot 3352.[4]
