Circumstances:

On final approach to Arkhangelsk-Vaskovo Airport, the crew encountered marginal weather conditions with snow showers. The captain lost visual contact with the runway but continued the approach when he realized, too late, that the aircraft was misaligned with the runway. This caused the aircraft to land to the right of the runway and to collide with a snow bank. All 38 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Circumstances:

During the takeoff roll, at a speed of 135 km/h, the pilot-in-command slowly started the rotation and the nose gear lifted off. Then, at a speed of 165 km/h, he lifted off more vigorously when the flight engineer retracted the landing gear. At a speed of 190 km/h, the aircraft sank back on the runway on its belly (the landing gears were partially retracted), causing both propellers to struck the ground. The aircraft slid for about 740 metres when eight seconds later, the flight engineer shut down both engines while both propellers were feathered 20 seconds later. The aircraft slid for another 300 metres then came to rest 1,670 metres from the departure point. All 32 occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Probable cause:

A lack of crew coordination during the takeoff roll procedure led the flight engineer retracting the undercarriage prematurely.

Probable cause:

It was determined that the runway surface was contaminated with snow and has not been cleared prior to takeoff. It was also reported that the runway lights and edge markings were not clearly visible due to snow.

On approach to Kostanay-Narimanovka Airport, at an altitude of 400 metres and about 12 km from the airport, the crew encountered problems with the left engine that was shut down and its propeller feathered. For unknown reasons, the crew failed to inform ATC about his situation and continued the approach in such conditions. On final, the crew was instructed to initiate a go-around for unknown reasons. In a 3,000 metres visibility, the crew increased power on the right engine and initiated a go-around when the aircraft lost height and crashed 162 metres from the runway threshold and 477 metres to the left of its extended centerline. It slid for few dozen metres until the apron where it collided with a parked Antonov AN-24. All 23 occupants escaped uninjured while both aircraft were damaged beyond repair.

All 20 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Probable cause:

The crew completed the approach with an excessive rate of descent and an incorrect flare, causing the aircraft to land with a positive acceleration of 3,5 g.
