Moscow-Khodynka

The crew was performing a positioning flight from Moscow-Vnukovo to Moscow-Khodynka. Shortly after takeoff, the crew voluntarily shot down an engine for training purposes. As he was unable to restart the engine, the captain decided to return to Vnukovo. On final, probably due to a wrong approach configuration, the aircraft landed long and after touchdown, the captain decided to go around. But the aircraft went out of control, veered off runway, collided with a parked Bell P-39Q Airacobra before coming to rest in flames 85 meters further on. All five crew members were unhurt while both aircraft were destroyed by fire.

Shortly after takeoff from Moscow-Khodynka Airport, while in initial climb, the left engine developed problems. The captain decided to return for an emergency landing but failed to follow the published approach procedures and elected to land on the nearest runway. With a tailwind component, he completed a straight in approach but came too high so performed a sharp turn to the left when the left wing hit the ground. Out of control, the aircraft crashed and came to rest near the runway. The copilot and the flight engineer were killed while four other people were injured, three of them seriously. All other occupants escaped unhurt.

While on ground in Moscow-Khodynka Airport, the right engine was subject to maintenance due to vibrations. The technical issue was apparently resolved so the crew decided to leave Moscow for Kazan. After liftoff, while climbing to a height of 100 meters, the right engine suffered severe vibrations and the crew tried to fix the problem by changing the mixture of the carburetor. The right engine failed and the aircraft lost height and eventually stalled and crashed on a railway line located in the station of Moscow-Butyrskaya, about 3,5 km northeast of the Khodynka Airport. Three crew members, nine passengers (among them P. S. Makarova, Deputy of the Chairman of the Soviet Supreme) and one person on the ground were killed. A crew member and eight other passengers were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The airplane departed Moscow-Khodynka Airport on a local test flight, carrying one passenger and two crew members, one pilot and one mechanic. After takeoff, while in initial climb, the left engine failed. From a height of about 90-100 metres, the airplane initiated a left turn, stalled, entered a flat spin and crashed in the Petrovski Park located near the Air Force Academy not far from the airport, bursting into flames. The pilot was seriously injured and the flight mechanic and the sole passenger were killed.

The airplane departed Moscow-Khodynka Airport on a flight to Kuybyshev, carrying four crew members and 20 passengers, in connection with the evacuation of GAZ n°1 to Kuybyshev. En route, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low clouds, fog and freezing drizzle. Some 25 km east of Kuznetsk, the crew flew some circles over a forest located on a 340 metres high hill near Lake Beloye when the airplane crashed for unknown reasons near Golodyayevka (now Dubrovka). All 24 occupants were killed, among them the aircraft designer Vsevolod Tairov.

The crew departed Moscow-Khodynka Airport on a local test flight on this second example of a new bomber prototype. While flying in the vicinity of the airfield, the aircraft disintegrated in the air and crashed. Both crew members were killed, pilot Lipkin and engineer Bulychov.

The crew departed Moscow-Khodynka Airport on a local test flight on this first example of a new bomber prototype. While flying in the vicinity of the airfield, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed in a field, bursting into flames. All four crew members were killed.

On approach to Moscow-Khodynka Airport following an uneventful flight from Germany, the pilot encountered engine problems. He attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft named 'Prasidium WSNCh' crashed in the Moskova River. The pilot Fritz Kiessner was killed and all four passengers were injured.
