Pskov AFB

On 03.07.2015 at 15:05, Kodiak-100 N642RM airplane, which had left Riga AP (Latvia), performed a landing at Pskov AD (RF). The airplane was performing a ferry flight from USA (where it was bought) to Krutitsy landing site, which is 80 km to the Southeast from Ryazan (RF). After the landing, flight crewmembers and passengers passed a border and customs control successfully. The aircraft was kept at Pskov AD from July 3 till July 6 under custody of AASS of Pskovavia (JSC). On 06.07.2015 at 08:00, the flight crew – PIC and FO – arrived to Pskov AD with a view to the ferry flight resumption. PIC was planning to fly the aircraft from Pskov AD to Krutitsy landing site on 06.07.2015. In violation of FAP MA CA and FAP-128 requirements, PIC and FO didn't pass a preflight medical check in spite of the fact that Pskovavia medical service was available at the aerodrome. Before the takeoff, two flight crewmembers were in the cockpit: PIC occupying a left seat, and FO occupying a right seat. Both were secured with safety belts. At 13:15:30, PIC performed a takeoff from Pskov AD with MH=190°. According to the flight crew explanatory reports, during the climbing with left turn, they had the engine troubles. Therefore, the flight crew put the airplane into gliding. They failed to re-start the engine in flight. Before the emergency landing, they cut the fuel off and de-energized the aircraft. The landing was performed at 13:18 to a marshy area with some bushes and individual trees around. The aircraft received significant damage during the landing. There was no fire: neither in flight nor on the ground. At 13:21:21, FO reported the forced landing to ATC controller, using the aircraft radio station. Pskov First-Aid Station suggested the help, but the flight crewmembers refused because they did not have any injuries.

On approach to Moscow-Domodedovo Airport, the crew encountered poor visibility due to marginal weather conditions. Rather than initiating a go-around procedure, the crew continued the descent when the aircraft crash landed to the right of runway 14R, in an area between the runway and the boundary fence. All 28 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after take off from Pskov Airport, while climbing to a height of about 50-70 metres, the crew encountered engine problems and elected to make an emergency landing. The aircraft lost height and crashed in a snow covered field located near the airport and came to rest. All 13 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. All passengers were skydivers (paratroopers) from the Marine Corps.

The aircraft departed Pskov AFB on a local training flight, carrying three passengers, eight crew members and a load of ammunition. After takeoff, while in initial climb, the crew informed ATC that a fire erupted on board and was cleared to return for an emergency landing. The aircraft went out of control and crashed in a wooded area located 3,4 km from the airport and 480 metres to the left of the extended centerline, bursting into flames. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 11 occupants were killed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances after the crew got distracted. There were no casualties.

Crashed in a field following a in-flight collision with a flock of birds. There were no casualties.

The approach to Vitebsk was initiated in icing conditions when the crew lost control of the airplane that lost height, struck power cables and crashed in flames in an open field. Five passengers survived while 26 other occupants were killed. The airplane was enroute from Pskov to Vitebsk, carrying officers taking part to an exercise.

While completing a local training mission by night and poor weather conditions, the crew exercised poor judgement regarding the distance with the preceding aircraft when the cockpit base struck the top of the tail of the preceding aircraft. On impact, the tail penetrated the fuselage, killing the captain instantly. In panic, the copilot abandoned the aircraft with his parachute. Out of control, the airplane dove into the ground and crashed, killing all six remaining crew members.

The crew was completing a local training flight at Pskov AFB. On final approach, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and low visibility. The captain decided to make a go around when the airplane collided with a second Soviet AF AN-12 that was approaching the same airport. Both aircraft dove into the ground and crashed, killing all 14 crew members on both aircraft. The exact circumstances of the collision remains unclear as well as the possible responsibility of ATC.
