Aeroflot - Russian International Airlines

During the takeoff roll, one of the pilot mistakenly raised the landing gear. The aircraft sank on its belly and slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest. There were no casualties while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Few dozen minutes after takeoff from Guryev Airport, while in cruising altitude, the crew noticed a higher than normal fuel consumption and realized he could not reach the destination. The captain decided to fly back to Guryev but a the fuel remaining was insufficient, the crew attempted an emergency landing in an open field located about 42 km from Guryev Airport. The aircraft crash landed in a field and came to rest. All six occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Shortly after takeoff, while in initial climb, the crew lowered the gear when the aircraft stalled and struck the runway surface. It slid for few dozen metres and came to rest. All 14 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Crashed in unknown circumstances while engaged in a spraying mission. All three occupants were killed.

The aircraft was completing a spraying mission in Razdolnoye with two pilots and one unauthorized passenger on board. While flying at low height against the sun, the crew performed a zoom while returning to the airstrip when the aircraft lost height and crashed, bursting into flames. All three occupants were killed.

Following an uneventful flight from Sukhumi, the crew initiate the approach to Leningrad-Pulkovo Airport in heavy rain falls. At a distance of 7 km on approach, at an altitude of 400 meters and at a speed of 287 km/h, flaps were deployed to an angle of 45°. Fifteen seconds laters, at a distance of 5,700 meters, the crew was cleared to land and continued the approach when the aircraft passed below the glide. With a rate of descent of 7 meters per second and at a speed of 250 km/h, the aircraft struck the ground 13 meters short of runway threshold in a 1° nose down attitude and with a positive acceleration of 4,5 g. The aircraft broke in three parts and came to rest 80 meters to the left of the runway. 13 passengers were killed, 38 other occupants were injured and 130 escaped uninjured.

The crew departed Karsi at 1257LT on a positioning flight to Mubarek. At 1312LT, the crew contacted ATC and estimated his arrival in Mubarek at 1320LT. Shortly later, the single engine aircraft banked right then stalled and struck the ground. It bounced and crashed 80 meters further, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed and both pilots were killed.

Following a wrong approach configuration, the crew passed over the runway threshold at a height of 30 meters and an excessive speed of 350 km/h. Rather than initiating a go-around procedure, the pilot-in-command continued and the aircraft landed 710 meters past the runway threshold. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran at a speed of 225 km/h, lost its undercarriage then slid for about 317 meters and eventually collided with concrete blocks (2 meters high), bursting into flames. 29 passengers were injured while 34 other occupants were killed, among them all four crew members.

During the takeoff roll on a snow covered runway, the crew lost control of the airplane that veered off runway and came to rest in a ravine. All 17 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

On final approach, the crew failed to realize his altitude was insufficient when the aircraft struck an embankment located 60 meters short of runway threshold. The nose gear was torn off and after touchdown, the aircraft veered off runway and came to rest, bursting into flames. All 43 occupants were rescued, among them 13 were injured.
