Crew


The aircraft's crew consisted of captain Nikolai Alimov, first officer Alexander Priydak, navigating officer Vladimir Marichev, flight engineer Fyodor Igumnov and an unknown flight attendant.[1]


Crash


The visibility at Leshukonskoye airport was 5 km, with drizzle and a wind speed of 3 m/s and air temperature 0°С.[1] Sixteen kilometres away from Leshukonskoye airport and at an altitude of 500 m (1,600 ft) the crew put the landing gear down and set the flaps at 15 degrees.[1] Then the flaps were set to 38 degrees and the aircraft, piloted by captain, started to descend.[1] The aircraft descended with a significant deviation that reached about 490 m to the left. The captain decided to land instead of making a go-around and banked the aircraft to the right. At an altitude of about 30 m (98 ft) the captain decided to make a go-around. The landing gear was retracted and the aircraft started to climb, but reached critical slip angles which compromised aircraft control.[1] The captain then ordered to set the flaps at 15 degrees, but by then the aircraft had stalled.[1] It then started to descend with an increasing left bank angle. At an altitude of 80 m (260 ft) and with a speed of 86.39 knots (160 kmh) the flaps were set to eight degrees.[1] The left bank angle ultimately reached 90 degrees and the aircraft crashed 110 m right of the runway.[1] The aircraft broke apart and partially burned.[1] Four passengers and the flight attendant survived the accident.[1]

The investigation placed the responsibility for the accident on the captain Alimov, who was found to have a risky style of piloting, which violated the flight instructions.[1] It was also found that the crew should have initiated a go-around instead of attempting to land first.[1] No fault with air traffic control was found.[1]
