Scheduled Revenue Flight

For unknown reasons, the aircraft landed hard at Cancún Airport, causing the right main gear to collapsed upon touchdown. The aircraft came to rest on the runway and was damaged beyond repair. All 43 occupants escaped uninjured.

The aircraft just departed runway 29R at Tehran-Mehrabad Airport and and continued to climb when it collided with an Iranian Air Force Su-24MK fighter that was preparing to land on runway 29L. Both aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed on a military depot located 15 km from the airport. All 131 occupants of the TU-154 and both pilots on board the fighter were killed.

During the takeoff roll at Ust-Kuyga Airport, the aircraft became uncontrollable. It veered off runway to the right and came to rest. All 27 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

En route from Maceió to Fortaleza, while in cruising altitude, the crew reported hydraulic problems and was cleared to divert to Recife-Guararapes Airport for an emergency landing. On approach, the crew was forced to lower the gear manually but it was not possible to establish if they were locked down or not. In accordance with ATC, the crew completed a low pass over the airport and ATC confirmed all three gear were down. A second approach was completed and the aircraft landed smoothly. Nevertheless, following a course of few dozen metres, the right main gear 'collapsed' and entered its wheel well. The aircraft rolled to the right, veered off runway then struck a concrete block, causing the nose gear to collapse. All 168 occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

En route from Medan to Banda Aceh, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with limited visibility due to clouds. The crew informed ATC about his altitude at 8,500 feet when, three minutes later, the aircraft struck the slope of Mt Kapur located about 130 km northwest of Medan. The wreckage was found few hours later and all 14 occupants were killed.

Despite poor weather conditions, the crew decided to takeoff from Peledui at 1805LT. Two minutes and 30 seconds later, he realized that weather conditions were worse than predicted. In below-minima weather conditions (snowfall and poor visibility), the crew encountered white-out conditions when the aircraft struck the snow-covered surface of the frozen Lena river located 7.5 km southwest of the airport. The aircraft cartwheeled and came to rest upside down. Both pilots and both passengers were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

On approach to Bambu Airstrip (runway 410 metres long), the pilot saw the windsock moving but estimated the wind to be relatively calm. While completing the flare, the aircraft was caught by a sudden updraft and landed too far down the runway. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, it overran and came to rest in bushes. All four occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was written off. At the time of the accident, weather conditions were considered as fine with overcast at 8,000 feet and good visibility below clouds. The Bambu runway has a gradient of 9,25% and is very short. Here, the pilot should initiate a go-around procedure as a safe landing was not possible in such conditions.

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.

On 9th January, 1993 TU-154 aircraft No. 85533 wet leased by Indian Airlines from Uzbekistan Airways was operating flight IC-840 from Hyderabad to Delhi. The aircraft was being flown by Uzbeki operating crew and there were 165 persons on board including the crew. The aircraft touched down slightly outside the right edge of the runway, collided with some fixed installations on the ground, got airborne once again and finally touched down on kutcha ground on the right side of the runway. At this stage the right wing and the tail of the aircraft broke away and it came to rest in an inverted position. During the process, the aircraft caught fire and was destroyed. Most occupants of the aircraft escaped unhurt. Six persons suffered either limb fracture or other serious injuries while 45 persons suffered injuries of a minor nature.

On short final to Surabaya-Juanda Airport, the right engine failed. The aircraft banked to the right and crashed in a swampy area located 800 metres short of runway. 16 occupants were killed while 28 others were injured.
