It is equipped with two AI-24 series 2 turboprop engines, AI-24T (Ivchenko) with variable pitch propeller AV-72, AV-72T. An-24 was produced from 1959 to 1979. More than 1,000 of these aircraft were produced, more than 300 are still in operation, mainly in the CIS and African countries. Contents

History of creation and development

The development of a new twin-engine passenger aircraft An-24, intended for operation on local airlines, began in GSOKB-473 named after. O. K. Antonov in 1958 in accordance with the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 1417-656 of December 18, 1957. According to the assignment, the aircraft was supposed to carry passengers with an equivalent load of 4,000 kg for a distance of up to 400 km at a cruising speed of 450 km/h. The use of AI-24 engines was envisaged.

The first flight of the An-24 was made on October 20, 1959, at the helm of which was the crew of test pilot G. I. Lysenko. In 1961, factory and state tests were carried out. Serial production of the aircraft began in early 1962 at plant number 473 in Kyiv. In September 1962, the first technical flight with passengers took place. On October 31, 1962, the operation of the aircraft began on the Kyiv-Kherson route.

Aircraft production continued until 1979. From 1962 to 1979, more than 1200 aircraft were produced, of which 1028 were produced by the Kiev Aviation Plant "AVIANT". The An-24 was also produced in China under the name Y-7.

An-24: A twin-engine turboprop high-wing wing of normal aerodynamic design with a straight wing and a single-fin empennage.

Technical description

The fuselage is sealed, semi-monocoque type. The power structure consists of a set of stringers and beams. Glue welded joints were used instead of riveting. The fuselage section is formed by two arcs of different diameters. The cockpit is located in the forward part of the fuselage. Behind it there is a front luggage compartment, a passenger compartment, a buffet, a toilet, a wardrobe and a rear luggage compartment.

Wing - trapezoidal in plan, coffered type, high elongation. The wing consists of two spars. On the center section there are two deflecting single-slotted flaps, and on the consoles - two 2 retractable double-slotted flaps. Also on the consoles are two split ailerons. The tail unit is traditional, supplemented by a ventral keel.

The aircraft landing gear is tricycle: two main supports and one front. Double wheels on each rack. The pressure inside the tires is regulated on the ground.

The power plant consists of two AI-24 turboprop engines designed by A. G. Ivchenko with four-bladed propellers AV-72, AV-72T and an autonomous launch unit TG-16 (on the AN-24RV aircraft, an additional turbojet engine RU-19A300 is installed in the right engine nacelle with a capacity of 800 kgf). The diameter of the propellers is 3.9 m. The power of each engine in takeoff mode is 2,550 hp. Fuel is placed in 4 soft tanks in the center section.

12/24/1983 46617 near the village of Leshukonskoe 44/49 When landing at night in cloudy and drizzling rain, the crew did not go around despite the unacceptable deviation to the left of the glide path. The pilot began to turn to the right and, by uncoordinated actions, brought the aircraft to a supercritical slip angle, which led to a loss of speed. At 1 km from the runway, the crew tried to go around, but, despite switching the engines to takeoff mode and retracting the landing gear, side slip caused a further drop in speed, the aircraft began to roll to the left, lose altitude and crashed to the ground with a roll of 90º 230 m from Runway and 110 m to the right of it.
01/28/1984 47310 Izhevsk airport 4/51 Before the start of the descent after turning off the autopilot, there was a complete failure of the elevator control. During the first landing approach, the aircraft began to sway in pitch and began to raise its nose right in front of the runway, which caused the crew to go around. During the second approach, the aircraft turned up sharper than the first time, turned up its nose, fell on the right wing at a height of 3-5 m above the runway and, despite the takeoff mode of the engines, lost speed and crashed into the ground near the runway at an angle of 15º and collapsed.

12/28/1989 YR-BMJ near Bucharest 7/7 Flying to Belgrade for a cargo of humanitarian aid, soon after takeoff from Bucharest airport in bad weather, for unknown reasons, fell apart in the air, the wreckage of the aircraft was scattered within a radius of 1 km² near the village of Vishina, Dymbovica County in 55 km from Bucharest. According to an unofficial version, it could have been shot down by an air defense missile because of the only passenger on board, the English journalist Ian Perry, who during the Romanian Revolution was at the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Romania and took a large number of photographs and videos during the battles. This is indicated by the traces of chemicals found on the wreckage of the aircraft used in the fuel and explosives of air defense missiles. Also, according to eyewitnesses, at the crash site, some people purposefully collected surviving photographs and videotapes.
01/09/1990 n.d. near Juba n.a./n.a. Air force board. During the civil war, he was shot down 110 km south of Juba near the village of Kadzho-Kadzhi from the Strela-2 MANPADS by the NAOS rebels.

06/02/1990 46551 Kenkiyak Airport 0/33 During landing, it touched the runway with excessive landing and vertical speeds, due to which it entered a progressive goat - after three jumps, the front landing gear broke and the aircraft rolled out of the runway by 83 m, as a result of which a fire broke out in the area of ​​​​the front landing gear, which subsequently completely destroyed the aircraft.
12/14/1990 47164 Shakhtyorsk Airport 0/43 While landing in heavy snow conditions, the right landing gear hit an earthen embankment before the start of the runway, the leg broke off and the aircraft was dragged skidding along the ground for several tens of meters.
03/23/1991 46472 Navoi airport 34/63 During the landing approach, the crew gave the controller deliberately false information about the location of the aircraft, as a result, the landing pattern was grossly violated: the descent took place with significant horizontal and vertical speeds, the long-range drive was passed at an altitude of 300 m (instead of 200), short drive - at a height of 90 m (instead of 60). The end of the runway was passed at a height of 30 m at a speed of 350 km / h, which excluded a safe landing, while the crew grossly violated the rules by not going to the second circle. The contact with the runway occurred at a distance of 710 m from the runway entrance end, after 10 seconds at a speed of 225 km/h the aircraft rolled out of the runway, where, due to work to increase the length of the runway, there was no end safety strip. The aircraft continued to move along the ground of the runway section under construction, as a result of collisions with uneven ground and the parapet of the pit, the front landing gear collapsed, then the main supports and the front fuselage along with the cockpit. At a distance of 317 m from the end of the runway, the right wing collided with a pile of concrete slabs 2 m high, completely collapsed and partially burned out.

11/26/1991 47823 near Bugulma 41/41 When landing at night in icing conditions, the crew did not turn on the anti-icing system of the wings and stabilizer, as a result of which they were covered with ice. Prior to entering the glide path, the crew, in violation of the RLE, extended the flaps to 30º, at 1700 m from the runway the aircraft began to sharply deviate to the right, after 300 m it went beyond the maximum allowable deviation and sank below the glide path. The crew at an altitude of 60 m began a go-around - the engines were switched to takeoff mode, but the flaps were not retracted, this led to the aircraft entering the stall mode and at an angle of 75-80º, the nose collided with the ground at 802 m after the start of the runway, 598 m to the right of it.
02/22/1992 OB-1439 Arequipa Airport 0/45 Landed at the very end of the runway, rolled out of it and drove 150 m over rough terrain, breaking the landing gear.

09/02/1992 46816 near Atyrau 0/49 After takeoff at an altitude of 900 m, the engine caught fire and the crew decided to return, but due to icing, the aircraft quickly lost speed at a speed of 6 m/s and was forced to make an emergency belly landing short of the runway. Passed 418 m over rough terrain, the plane was half destroyed.
11/21/1992 46306 Krasnodar airport 0/20 During an emergency landing with an acceleration of 3 units, the landing gear broke off and the 4th bulkhead was damaged.
01/16/1993 46478 Kostanay airport 0/23 When approaching the airport, one engine stopped, the crew, in violation of the rules, did not report this to the ATC and continued to descend. At an altitude of 60 m and a distance of 400 m from the runway, the aircraft turned left and the controller gave the order to go around, and when the takeoff mode of the second engine was turned on, the aircraft fell and fell to the ground 162 m before the start of the runway and 477 m to the left of its axis, when landing, the plane slid across a snowy field and hit a military An-12 standing on it.
02/03/1993 47180 Ust-Kuigi airport 0/20 During takeoff, the steering failed, the aircraft made an emergency landing during which it received significant damage.

11/01/1995 UN-47710 Shymkent airport 0/4 One engine stopped during landing approach, the aircraft speed decreased, but the pilot mistakenly did not add power to the second engine, but turned it off, due to which the aircraft made a hard (over 2.6 units) landing and landed with an undershoot of 1100 m to the runway, knocking down a ram along the way.
12/13/1995 YR-AMR near Verona 49/49 Upon arrival from the city of Timisoara, an hour later he had to fly back. Due to zero temperature, strong winds and snowfall, the flight was delayed, however, before the flight, the crew commander did not take into account the weather conditions and decided not to treat the aircraft with anti-icing agents. After taking off with an overload of 2000 kg, it reached its maximum speed and, due to sub-zero temperatures and the lack of anti-icing treatment, the wings began to become covered with ice and the aircraft began to roll to the right due to a violation of aerodynamic qualities. The speed dropped sharply and the crew lowered the elevators sharply down, which caused the speed to increase again. Continuing the flight with the right bank, the crew raised the flaps, but the aircraft increased the bank to 67 °, the aircraft commander was unable to regain control over the aircraft and it fell on the right wing, collapsed and caught fire 1.5 km from the airport.
12/21/1995 46473 Krasnodar airport 0/44 During the landing approach, the cargo shifted, as a result of which the aircraft's centering was disturbed. After passing over the threshold of the runway, the crew started to level off late and the first touchdown of the runway occurred with an incomplete leveling, which led to the development of a progressive "goat". The erroneous actions of the crew to prevent "goat" were characterized by significant disproportionate movements of the steering wheel "toward" and "away from themselves" and, thereby, aggravated the situation. During six consecutive landings with an overload from 1.37 to 3.3 units, the front landing gear was destroyed, followed by damage to the structural elements.
12/29/1995 46401 Saransk airport 0/5 While performing a training flight, it landed too abruptly, hit the ground with its left wing and collapsed.

11/06/1996 47356 Ust-Nera airport 0/29 During the landing approach, the controller did not warn the crew about the reconstruction of the pavement at the beginning of the runway, mistakenly thinking that the aircraft commander was aware of the construction work. The belated warning came just before touchdown, which prevented the plane from taking off and drove along the reconstructed runway, sustaining significant damage.
03/18/1997 46516 near Cherkessk 50/50 fuselage in the area of ​​​​the toilet cabin, after which the tail section separated, the plane went into an uncontrolled fall, collided with the ground 1 km east of the city of Cherkessk and burned down.

03/16/2005 46489 near the village of Varandey 28/52 When landing in conditions of "whiteout" and the absence of landmarks on the surface, the crew mistook for the runway a section of a dirt road located 4 km to the airport runway and parallel to the direction of the airport runway. To approach the erroneous landing site, the crew commander undertook a prolonged (20 seconds) descent maneuver with slip and loss of speed. This, with insufficient engine operation and lack of control over the flight speed, led to reaching critical slip angles of more than 20 ° and stalling the aircraft on the left wing at a height of 26 meters, after which it collided with the ground 4217 m from the runway, collapsed and partially burned down

Well, a little photo of this beautiful hard worker.

Unfortunately, the time of this aircraft is irretrievably running out.

P.S. Many thanks to the sites aiwar.ru russianplanes.net aviaport.ru aviaforum.ru for their help in preparing this material.

Preceding circumstances

The aircraft was on a charter flight 37577 from Perm to Sovetsky, during which a shift of oil workers was transported. It was piloted by its crew, which consisted of commander (FAC) V. A. Poteev, co-pilot Yu. V. Perminov, flight engineer A. N. Shipitsin and flight mechanic-instructor G. E. Ponosov. The stewardess G. V. Kamenskikh worked in the cabin. At 10:38 Moscow time, the crew went through the first pre-flight training, but since the weather in Sovetsky had deteriorated by that time, the flight had to be postponed. Further, the crew received a weather forecast for the period from 12:00 to 19:00, according to which a storm was predicted in Sovetskoye, an unstable fresh wind, haze, continuous nimbostratus and broken rain clouds, in which moderate icing was observed, with a height of 80 meters and upper border 500 meters, haze, visibility 1000 meters. Then, at 12:20, the commander received a report on the actual weather at the receiving airport: weak northeast wind, overcast 180 meters high, snow, haze, visibility 3 kilometers. Such data were above the meteorological minimum, so at 13:15 the crew decided to take off. At 13:55 Moscow time, the An-24 took off from the Perm airport and, after climbing, reached the cleared flight level of 5700 meters. There were 35 passengers on board. Also, before departure, only 2,900 kilograms of fuel were filled into the aircraft's tanks, which excluded the possibility, if necessary, of leaving for an alternate airfield (Perm or Nizhnevartovsk).

Catastrophe

The airliner approached the Soviet already at dusk. After receiving the actual weather for 16:50 (14:50 Moscow time), as well as after receiving the permission of the controller, at 17:16 the pilots began to descend. At the same time, the commander decided that the co-pilot would fly the airliner at this stage, which contradicted the instructions in the An-24 flight crew training program. Also, the crew did not immediately turn on the anti-icing system (POS). Later, however, it will be turned on before the DPRM, but only after the “Icing” alarm goes off three times. At 17:24, the crew occupied the transition level (1200 meters) and set the airfield pressure on the altimeters, which they reported to the dispatcher, after which they checked their readings and began to descend until they took the circle height (500) 17 kilometers from the runway. The controller indicated that the landing approach would be made on the OSB at a landing heading of 304 °, but, in violation of the instructions, did not transmit updated weather data, and also did not indicate where the runway was and what its markings were.

However, when 6 kilometers remained to the runway, and the height was 250 m, the vertical rate of descent increased to 5 m/s, but the crew did not notice this, as they tried to eliminate lateral deviation. As a result, the airliner sank below the glide path and passed the LPM 60-90 meters below the required level (120-150 meters versus 210). Noticing this, the pilots gradually reduced the vertical speed to zero and maintained level flight for a kilometer until they returned to the glide path, after which they continued to descend. At an altitude of 130 meters, the flight engineer was supposed to give the command "Assessment", but he did not do this, nor did he give the command "Decision altitude" at the appropriate height (100 meters). The commander himself at the height of decision-making did not inform the crew of his opinion. At the same time, the flight mechanic-instructor, who was sitting in the cockpit, did nothing to correct the mistakes made by him being checked.

When 300 meters remained to the end of the runway, the controller transmitted updated meteorological data, which were below the minimum for the An-24, which required a go-around. However, the crew did not do this, moreover, at a height of 75 meters, the vertical speed increased to 6 m/s, thereby creating an emergency. After passing a height of 62 meters, the altimeter signal was triggered, but the descent did not stop. Only at a height of 35 meters, the pilots saw that the airliner was rushing into the forest, so they sharply pulled the controls towards themselves, thereby raising the plane's nose and forcing it to start climbing, which led to almost one and a half times overload. Also, someone without a command switched the engines into takeoff mode. However, the crew did not have time to completely stop the descent.

At a distance of 180 meters from the DPRM, the An-24 crashed into trees with its right wing plane. From the impact, the plane collapsed, and the right engine turned off, while the right propeller was automatically feathered. However, the left engine at that moment had already begun to go into takeoff mode (the collision occurred a couple of seconds after the engine mode was increased), which caused asymmetric thrust, which, in combination with asymmetric lift (due to the destruction of the right plane), led to the appearance of a right roll, which quickly reached 27°. The crew tried to parry it with maximum deflection of the rudder and ailerons, which initially reduced the roll to 12 °. However, after a couple of seconds, due to a stall on the stump of the right plane, the right bank began to grow rapidly again (16 ° per second). At 17:28:47, the An-24, with a roll of almost 90 °, crashed with its right plane into the embankment of the road, flew over it and crashed into an earthen rampart, after which it completely collapsed and burned out. Arriving rescue services found 8 seriously injured passengers at the crash site. The remaining 27 passengers and all 5 crew members died.

This machine, which first took to the skies on October 20, 1959, was destined for a long time to become the main short-range turboprop Soviet aircraft, which eventually completely replaced the piston Il-12 and Il-14.

The plane made its first flight with passengers on October 31, 1962, later on the number of An-24s in the civil aviation only increased, reaching a “peak” value in the early 80s - 700 aircraft in more than 100 structural divisions. As of the end of 1991, 649 machines of this type were operated in the USSR Civil Aviation. As of 1991, more than a hundred An-24s were operated by the "siloviki", and 30 - in the aviation of other ministries of the USSR. As of the beginning of 2014, 138 aircraft of this type were flying in the world.

A total of 1,337 An-24s were built by three aircraft factories, of which more than 260 were exported to 30 countries of the world. Since the mid-60s, the military became interested in the aircraft, so they launched the production of military modifications of the machine.

In total, since 1962, at least 172 An-24s have been lost, of which 61% of the losses were due to personnel errors, flight and ground, 30% were due to equipment failures, in 6% of cases the losses were caused by external factors, in another 3% of cases, the true cause of the incidents could not be established.

Like the An-12, this machine was destined for its aviation fate many tests in various parts of the world. It transported more than 1 billion passengers all over the world. passengers.

In the USSR Civil Aviation, 65 vehicles were lost, incl. 2 - in testing structures and one - in educational institutions (Kirovograd ShVLP). In the post-Soviet countries, after 1991, another 27 cars were lost, of which 15 had Russian registration. The worst loss was the disaster in 2005 in Equatorial Guinea, when 60 people died. In the USSR in 1971, 57 people were on board the crashed An-24.

The “siloviki” of the USSR lost 6 An-24s (3 in the Air Force, 2 in the Navy, 1 in the air defense aviation), the “siloviki” of the post-Soviet countries lost 4 more vehicles (3 in the Russian Federation and one in Uzbekistan), and foreign aircraft for the entire period of operation lost 7 aircraft (3 - Sudan, one each - Bulgaria, Poland, Afghanistan and Slovakia).

The first lost An-24 was a machine that was being tested by the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation in Ternopil.

July 29, 1962 An-24 CCCP-46708 Antonov Design Bureau, accident, Ternopil Half-wing collision with the ground during takeoff. The plane landed outside the runway and burned out.

The “peak” of An-12 losses in the USSR Civil Aviation came in 1976, when they lost 6 aircraft at once, 5 aircraft were lost in 1971 and 1991.

The first car was lost in the aviation of the Navy in 1972. Despite all her tragedy (many children died), she did not receive publicity due to total secrecy.

May 16, 1972 An-24T plane crash, Svetlogorsk airfield, Kaliningrad region. The crew took off towards the sea for weather reconnaissance. The flight was supposed to take place visually at an altitude of 500m. However, according to the report of the crew commander, the flight altitude was 150m. Then the crew made a U-turn over the sea and crossed the coastline near Zelenogradsk. After flying over Zelenogradsk, the aircraft lost the RTS signal. 15 minutes after takeoff, the plane entered a dense fog at an unacceptably low altitude. Then he hooked the tops of pine trees on the steep seashore with his wing, losing part of it. In this case, the true flight altitude was 42m. After flying another 200m, the plane crashed on a kindergarten building in a residential area and burned down with it. Of those in the building, only two adults survived. 23 of the dead are children. In total, 8 crew members and 25 people on the ground were killed. The altimeter showed the height with an error of 65m. The flight was carried out with the aim of flying over the means of RTO. During the investigation, unsatisfactory flight preparation and flight management were revealed.

Human factor

Several aircraft were lost during takeoff.

November 23, 1978, crash of An-24B USSR-46327 of the North Caucasian CAA, Emelyanovka When flying at night in the clouds, the plane got into icing, the crew turned on the heating of the VNA late, due to which the latter turned off. When trying to start the engine, a turning moment arose, which could not be dealt with. The plane went into a tailspin and hit the ground.

April 18, 1980 An-24B aircraft crash, USSR-46220 of the Moscow Technical Specifications, Bykovo Airport (Moscow). When preparing for takeoff, the crew did not set the flaps to the takeoff position. Having taken off from the runway with the takeoff course MK=280°, the plane could not gain altitude. Hitting the airport's concrete fence, the An-24 crossed the highway, collided with buildings and caught fire. Passengers and crew members received injuries of varying severity.

July 21, 1989 accidentAn-24T Balashovsky VVAUL. The takeoff was canceled due to the fact that the crew erroneously determined the failure of the aircraft. The aircraft skidded off the runway.

April 22, 1990, An-24РВ RDPL-34008 accident at the Luang Namza airfield (Laos). The plane failed to take off, it skidded off the runway and collided with buildings.

February 1, 1994, An-24B accident, RA-47718 JSC "Kolyma-Avia", Omsukchan airfield. Collision with a snowdrift during takeoff. Decommissioned.

September 8, 1995 accidentAn-24T of the Russian Navy, Knevichi airfield. When taking off from the assembly line, the onboard technician arbitrarily removed the landing gear.

December 13, 1995, the crash of the Romanian An-24B YR-AMR, Verona airfield (Italy). After takeoff and a climb of 150 m, the aircraft began to descend and collided with the earth's surface. The takeoff was carried out in icing conditions and with an overload of 3 tons.

July 17, 1994, an accident An-24 RA-46575, JSC "Aeroflot", Kherson airfield. Premature cleaning of the landing gear on the run. Decommissioned.

At the landing stage, 15 An-24s were lost due to a descent below the glide path in the SMU, 7 An-24s were lost due to a runway departure, and 4 overrunning. Another 5 aircraft were lost by the operators due to their landings before the runway. A number of aircraft were written off after rough landings.

February 6, 1995, an accident An-24B RA-46564 Arkhangelsk Airlines, Naryan-Mar airfield. During the pre-landing descent, due to the deterioration of weather conditions, the crew lost visual control from the runway. When it was restored, the attitude of the aircraft did not guarantee a safe landing, but, nevertheless, it was carried out. An-24 left the runway and collided with a snowdrift. Decommissioned.

March 23, 1991 crash of the An-24RV USSR-46472 aircraft of the Uzbek CAA, Navoi airport, Uzbekistan. The aircraft landed 710m after the end of the runway, rolled out to 317m, collided with a stack of reinforced concrete slabs 2m high, collapsed and caught fire. Of the 63 people on board, 34 died, incl. crew in full.

April 6, 1993, accident An-24RV, YL-LCH, JSC "Latavia", Stepanavan airfield. Landing ahead of the front desk, which collapsed. The aircraft overran the runway by 600 m and received significant damage. Decommissioned.

March 20, 1965 An-24 plane crash (USSR-46764), Khanty-Mansiysk airport. When landing at night before leveling, an involuntary peck occurred. The aircraft went into a steep descent. The stock of the elevator for the output was not enough. As a result, the aircraft made a rough landing short of the runway, collapsed and caught fire. 30 people died, all crew members survived.

November 1, 1995, accident An-24B UN-47710 JSC "Kazakhstan Airlines", Chimkent airfield. Shortly before landing, the left engine failed, instead of increasing the operating mode of the right one, the crew mistakenly turned it off. The aircraft landed 1100 m before the runway with an overload of 2.6 units. Decommissioned.

More than 15 vehicles lost due to premature descent.

March 18, 1966, An-24B SU-AOA, Nicosia (Egypt) After taking off from Nicosia, the crew got into a zone of thunderstorm activity. The situation was complicated by strong turbulence and icing. The magnetic compass and altimeters began to malfunction, the glass of the cockpit cracked. The crew rejected proposals to land on alternate airfields, although the weather in Cairo was also bad. However, by the time the An-24 arrived, the weather had improved. The crew received permission to perform a visual approach, but subsequently lost contact with them. The aircraft, descending below the minimum safe altitude, collided with a sand dune 5 km from the runway.

November 12, 1971 An-24 aircraft crash, USSR-46809, Vinnitsa airfield, Ukrainian SSR. Flight Kyiv (Zhulyany) - Vinnitsa. During the second approach in low cloud cover and drizzling rain with a roll, it fell near the runway and burned out. All 4 crew members and 48 passengers were killed.

January 6, 1974 An-24B aircraft crash, USSR-46357, Ukrainian UGA. Flight Moscow (Bykovo) - Lviv - Uzhgorod. Crashed in the Carpathians while landing at a military airfield in Mukachevo. All 5 crew members and 19 passengers were killed. Uzhgorod airport was temporarily closed due to repairs and flights were operated to a neighboring airfield.

November 13, 1981, the crash of An-24T 193 OSAE, Nakhichevan region. During the ZNP, the aircraft collided with a mountain a few kilometers from the runway. On board were district headquarters officers flying to participate in the inspection. Reason: premature decline.

January 19, 2006, An-24B of the Slovak Air Force, the area of ​​the settlement. Heyze (Hungary). Collision with a mountain at an altitude of 700 m due to premature descent. On board the plane were peacekeepers returning from Kosovo.

Due to the decrease below the glide path in SMU and UMP, more than 15 aircraft were lost, which because of this collided with the earth's surface and obstacles on it (trees, power lines, pipes).

April 19, 1977, the crash of the An-24T of the Air Defense Forces of the USSR Armed Forces, the Tapa airfield (Estonia) During a visual landing approach in the afternoon, the aircraft passed the DPRM at an altitude of 100 m, significantly below the glide path. Upon entering the snow charge, instead of going to the second circle, the descent continued with almost complete loss of visibility of the ground. The aircraft hit a brick chimney of a 60 m high distillery with its wing, fell to the ground in an inverted position and burned down. The crew commander did not have enough experience. On board were the pilots of the air defense fighter regiment, who overtook fighters to another airfield and returned for their new batch.

September 3, 1979 crash of the An-24B aircraft, USSR-46269 of the Northern UGA, Amderma airfield. NSMU. Flight Arkhangelsk (Talagi) - Naryan-Mar - Amderma. The navigator-instructor was not at the workplace during the landing approach using the OSP system. Descending below the set glide path, the aircraft passed the LPM at an altitude of 155m, 95m below the set one. After leaving the clouds, the crew stopped instrument piloting and, in the conditions of unorientated terrain in visual flight, prematurely descended to an unacceptably low altitude. At a distance of 1850m from the beginning of the runway and 140m to the left of its axis, the aircraft collided with a small hill between the DPRM and BPRM, collapsed and burned out. In total, 40 people died, the flight attendant and two passengers survived. The crew saw the runway, but did not control their position on the glide path, which led to a premature descent. Take-off weight exceeded the allowable by 800kg. Reason: crew error, expressed in the loss of control over the descent of the aircraft along the glide path.

February 13, 2013, the crash of An-24RV UR-WRA AK Southern Airlines, Donetsk. Losing speed, collided with the ground while attempting to land in conditions below the crew minimum. Killed 5 people flying to a football match.

There were also aircraft stalls.

May 12, 1982, An-24T crash, b / n 11, Balashovskoye VVAUL, Petrovsk airfield. The crew of the Balashovsky VVAUL carried out a training flight in order to train a cadet. During the landing approach with imitation of a left engine failure, the crew did not properly control the altitude and the aircraft sank below the glide path. To correct the trajectory, the right engine mode was increased to takeoff, and in order to maintain the course, the rudder was deflected to the extreme right position. The speed of the aircraft dropped to 142 km / h. After passing the BRM, the aircraft entered the stall mode, rolled over, lost control and fell in an inverted position in the runway alignment. The aircraft burned down after impact with the ground. The entire crew and cadet were killed.

December 24, 1983 crash of the An-24RV aircraft, USSR-46617 of the Arkhangelsk State Administration, Leshukonskoye airport. When landing at night in cloudy and drizzling rain, the crew did not go around, despite the unacceptable deviation of the descent to the left of the glide path. The pilot began to turn to the right and, by uncoordinated actions, brought the aircraft to a supercritical slip angle, which led to a loss of speed. At 1 km from the runway, after passing the decision height, the crew still tried to go around, but the presence of significant side slip caused a further drop in speed, despite the transfer of engines to takeoff mode and retracting the landing gear. The full return of the steering wheel from itself did not lead to an increase in speed due to the large pitching moment. An attempt to return the rudder to the neutral position failed due to the occurrence of large forces on the pedals. The plane began to roll to the left and lose altitude. With a roll that reached 90?, An-24 collided with the earth's surface 230m from the runway and 110m to the right of it. Survived 4 passengers and a flight attendant from 49 people on board.

November 26, 1991 crash of the An-24RV USSR-47823 aircraft of the Volga UGA, Bugulma Airport (RSFSR). The crew performed the flight Nizhnevartovsk - Bugulma. When landing at night in icing conditions, the crew did not turn on the anti-icing system of the wings and stabilizer. As a result, they were covered with ice up to 15 mm thick. Before entering the glide path, the crew extended the flaps to 30? (according to the RLE in icing conditions - no more than 10?). As a result, at 1700 m from the runway, the aircraft began to sharply deviate to the right and after 300 m went beyond the maximum allowable deviation and sank below the glide path. The crew started go-around at an altitude of 60m. The engines were switched to takeoff mode, but the flaps were not retracted. This led to an increase in the negative angle of attack of the horizontal stabilizer to supercritical values ​​and a stall from it. The elevator moved to the extreme position for a dive. The aircraft entered the stall mode at low altitude and at an angle of 75-80? nose-on impacted the ground 802m after passing the threshold of the runway and 598m to the right of it. The 4 crew members and 37 passengers on board were killed.

March 16, 2005 crash of the An-24 RA-46489 aircraft, Regional Airlines JSC, district.n.p. Varandey (RF). DPMU. The crew flew on the route Usinsk - Varandey. During the landing approach in the conditions of "whiteout" and the lack of visibility of landmarks on the underlying surface, the crew mistook for a runway a contrastingly visible section of a freshly paved road, located 4 km from the Varandey airport runway. To approach the new object, the PIC undertook a prolonged descent maneuver with slip and loss of speed, with insufficient engine operation and no control over the flight speed. Possible errors in the readings of a number of instruments (speed indicators, angle of attack indicator) could make it difficult for the crew members to control the flight parameters. The drop in slip speed led to the aircraft reaching supercritical angles of attack and stalling. The aircraft hit the ground, crashed and burned. 26 out of 45 passengers and 2 out of 7 crew members died.

Sometimes the cause of the loss of the An-24 was the errors of the police department.

November 20, 1975 An-24B aircraft crash, USSR-46349, Belarusian State Administration. The crew performed the flight Mineralnye Vody – Donetsk – Kharkiv – Gomel. The plane touched trees and collided with a hillside 17 km from Kharkiv airport while landing in the clouds. The controller informed the crew of an incorrect pressure value, as a result of which the altimeters showed the altitude with an error of 200m. All 19 people on board were killed. Reason: ATC error.

Sometimes, only at the cost of their lives, the crews made changes to existing instructions and orders.

December 19, 1978 An-24B plane crash, USSR-46299, Uzbek State Administration, Samarkand airport. The crew was on a training flight, during which a single-engine approach was planned for landing to practice flying skills with one engine running. The right engine was turned off and the propeller was feathered. During the landing approach on one engine, the aircraft passed the BRM 15m below the glide slope. The PIC decided to go around. The output of the working engine to the takeoff mode was carried out slowly, probably for fear of causing a large turning moment, because. due to the direction of rotation of the propellers, the asymmetry of thrust during a sharp change in the regime is most noticeable when the right engine is turned off. After retracting the landing gear and flaps, the aircraft lost speed and rolled to the ground. 5 people died. After a series of LPs in training flights of airplanes and helicopters with engines turned off, it was decided to switch to imitation of their failure by switching to idle (throttle). This measure increases the chances of getting out of an acute situation in case of errors in piloting by bringing the engine to a conditionally turned off mode, although it somewhat reduces the effect of training.

A number of machines are lost due to errors in piloting technique.

December 1, 1971 An-24B plane crash, USSR-46788, Saratov airport. When landing in fog, the crew began a go-around, but during a turn at an altitude of 150-200 m, the aircraft lost speed and crashed in the steppe near the end of the runway. There were 57 people on board, all died.

February 22, 1972 An-24 aircraft crash, USSR-46732, Lipetsk region. During a rather steep descent, the propellers entered the negative thrust mode at an altitude of 1500m. The crew was unable to regain control of the aircraft and it collided with the ground.

February 27, 1972 An-24B aircraft crash, USSR-46418. Stavropol Territory, near Mineralnye Vody. During a rather steep descent, the propellers went into negative thrust at an altitude of 2000 m. The crew managed to control the aircraft and the aircraft collided with the ground.

The aircraft was tested for strength and landings without landing gear and a collision with a camel. And he survived!

July 13, 2002, an accident An-24РВ RA-46670 JSC Sakhaavia, Yakutsk airfield. The crew performed training flights. During the landing approach, the landing gear crane was put in the “released” position, but the crew did not control its exit and locking. 14 seconds before touchdown on the runway, the controller gave the go-around command, because I noticed that the landing gear of the aircraft was not released. However, the crew commander did not hear this, because. was busy with internal radio traffic. After another 5 seconds, the controller re-issued the go-around command, one of the crew members reported that the landing gear was not extended. The crew commander increased the engine operation, but it was too late: the aircraft touched the runway with its tail section and drove along it for about 1000 m. The aircraft was decommissioned. As it turned out later, the flight was carried out by an incomplete crew, which, moreover, had been on its feet for almost 6 days.

September 30, 1966, An-24B SU-AOM, Cairo, accident. Despite the measures taken by the crew, the aircraft collided with the right landing gear with a camel that entered the runway. At the airport of destination Cairo, a landing without landing gear was made on a sandy runway. No harm done.

The An-24 crews also had to make an emergency landing.

August 29, 1966, An-24, CU-T875, Camaguie (Cuba), accident. Landing after running out of fuel. Decommissioned.

June 1, 1971 An-24B aircraft crash, USSR-47729, Ulan-Ude airport. The crew performed a training flight, during which it was planned to develop piloting skills with one inoperative engine. One of the engines was transferred to the MG, and the propeller was feathered. Soon, the mechanic turned off the second engine by mistake. The crew managed to make an emergency landing on Bogorodsky Island. Crew members were injured, the aircraft partially burned down.

In three cases, the An-24 was lost due to mid-air collisions with other aircraft.

March 18, 1976, An-24B crash, CU-T879, Havana area (Cuba), Mid-air collision with DC-8, the crew of which, despite the partial destruction of the half-wing, was able to make a successful landing. An-24B collided with the earth's surface.

September 9, 1976 the crash of two aircraft An-24RV USSR-46518 of the Belarusian UGA and Yak-40 (USSR-87772). The flight passed above the cloud layer with a visibility of more than 10 km. The Yak-40 plane was sent to an odd flight level of 5700m, intended for movement in the opposite direction (from north to south). The planes, following on opposite courses, collided head-on in the air. During the collision, the An-24 aircraft "chopped off" the tail assembly of the Yak-40 aircraft along with the engines. 5 crew members and 47 passengers on the An-24 and 38 people on board the Yak-40 were killed. The wreckage sank at a depth of 500-600m in the Black Sea near Anapa. Reason: ATC error.

August 24, 1981 the crash of two aircraft - An-24 USSR-46653 of the Far Eastern UGA and Tu-16 of the USSR Air Force. During a daytime flight to PMU at an altitude of 5200m, a passenger An-24 collided, heading from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to Blagoveshchensk with a deviation of 10 km from the airway, with a military Tu-16K, which took off from Zavitinsk for weather reconnaissance. After the collision, the planes broke up in the air, the wreckage fell near Zavitinsk, Amur Region, the crews and all passengers, except for one, only 37 people, died immediately. After the collision, passenger Larisa Savitskaya ended up on a large fragment of the fuselage, the shape of which slowed down the descent. After falling onto a mountainside in a dense forest, which softened the blow, she, the only one of all the passengers, remained alive, although she was seriously injured. Search engines found her two days later.

Another aircraft was lost due to hitting a wake from a fighter.

May 15, 1976 An-24RV aircraft crash, USSR-46534, Ukrainian UGA. Flight Vinnitsa - Kyiv (Zhulyany) - Moscow. During the flight along the route at flight level 5100m, I got into the wake of a MiG fighter from the Chernihiv VVAUL, the pilot of which left the zone reserved for piloting and entered the civilian route. There was a sharp deviation of the rudder. The propellers of both engines automatically feathered. An-24 fell into a tailspin and collided with the ground near the city of Chernigov. 52 people died. Causes: failure of aviation equipment caused by hitting a wake from a jet aircraft. An error in the technique of piloting a fighter pilot, expressed in failure to maintain a place in the piloting area, as well as the negligence of the ATC services, expressed in the inconsistency of military and civilian air traffic controllers.

Aircraft

More than 60% of the An-24 losses associated with aircraft failures occurred due to problems with engines, another 10% - with the landing gear, the remaining 30% fell on the failure of the AGD, POS, SUPR, SES, brakes and structural destruction in the air. In cases of engine failure, the propellers were destroyed twice in flight, and in five cases they self-feathered. They all ended in disaster.

March 26, 1981, An-24B SP-LTU crash, area Slupsk (Poland). Separation of the propeller in the air.

August 3, 1969, An-24B, CCCP-46248, accident, f.p. Preobrazhenskoye (Ukraine). In the process of climbing at an altitude of 3600 m, one of the propeller blades of the right engine came off. The plane hit the ground.

October 13, 1969, An-24B, USSR-47772, Tyumen UGA, Nizhnevartovsk, disaster. The aircraft collided with the ground 1 km before the runway due to spontaneous feathering of the propellers after the activation of the POS.

March 2, 1986 crash of the An-24B aircraft, USSR-46423 of the Moscow TU, Bugulma airport. The crew performed the flight Moscow (Bykovo) - Cheboksary - Bugulma. 1s after the flaps were extended, the propeller of engine No. 1 spontaneously moved to the feathering position. The aircraft banked to the left and began a turn in the same direction, lost speed and collided with the ground. Reason: failure of the microswitch of the automatic feathering sensor (DAF) according to the torque meter (PCM).

December 15, 1986, An-24RV crash, V-3413, area of ​​the settlement Lanzhou (PRC). In conditions of heavy icing, the propeller of the right engine spontaneously feathered. The plane crashed while on approach to landing.

Due to engine failures, the crews had to make forced and emergency landings, but they did not always end successfully.

October 6, 1968, An-24B, USSR-46552, Mary region. Forced landing after engine failure at an altitude of 4200 m.

July 11, 2011, crash of An-24 RA-47302 AC Angara, Strezhevoy (Russian Federation) Splashing on the Ob River after two engines failed.

June 19, 2003, An-24РВ CU-T1295 accident, Nueva Gerona-Rafael Cabrera airfield (Cuba). Shortly after takeoff (at an altitude of about 300 m), the left engine failed, the crew turned the plane 180? and performed an emergency landing on a reverse course. During the run, the An-24 left the runway, demolished a number of obstacles and fell into an artificial reservoir. The crew and passengers are alive.

September 2, 1992, An-24B, USSR-46816, Guryev (Kazakhstan). After takeoff at an altitude of 900 m, an engine fire started, it was decided to return to the departure airfield. It was not possible to land on the first attempt, during the second approach, in icing conditions, speed was lost. The aircraft landed on the ground on an incompletely extended landing gear, having traveled 418 m along it. The crew and passengers are alive.

August 18, 1973 crash of the An-24B aircraft, USSR-46435 of the Azerbaijan State Administration. Turbine failure and non-localized failure of the left engine shortly after takeoff. The crew tried to return to the airport, but the plane, which had the maximum takeoff weight, began to lose altitude and collided with the oil platform of the Oil Rocks field in Azerbaijan. 5 crew members and 51 passengers were killed. Causes: failure of aviation equipment, expressed in the melting of the blades of the right engine, as a result of which it could not reach the maximum mode. In turn, the melting of the blades was caused by the systematic exceeding of the limit of engine operating time in takeoff mode.

Sometimes the crew itself only exacerbated the engine failure that had taken place.

January 16, 1993, accident An-24RV, 46478, Kazakhstan Airlines, Kostanay airfield (Kazakhstan). During the landing approach, the left engine failed, which was feathered. The crew did not report the failure to the dispatcher. At an altitude of 60 m, the aircraft was at a range of 400 m, and the controller gave the command to go around. The crew increased the operating mode of the right engine, but the aircraft continued to descend and landed 162 m before the runway to the left of its axis by 477 m. In the process of its movement, it collided with a military An-24 standing in the parking lot.

The An-24 aircraft also turned out to be not immune from the "peck".

March 20, 1965 crash of the An-24 USSR-46764 aircraft, Khanty-Mansiysk airport. When landing at night before leveling, an involuntary peck occurred. The aircraft went into a steep descent. The stock of the elevator for the output was not enough. As a result, the aircraft made a rough landing short of the runway, collapsed and caught fire. 30 people died

January 15, 1979 crash of the An-24B USSR-46807 aircraft, Ukrainian State Administration, Minsk airport. Flight Dnepropetrovsk - Kyiv (Zhulyany) - Minsk. When landing in icing conditions, the crew, according to the RLE, fully extended the flaps. The plane took a dive, lost control and crashed. 13 people died, incl. the whole crew. Reason: failure of aviation equipment due to overcompensation of the elevator. The conclusions of the commission that investigated the LP: partial loss of longitudinal stability of the aircraft in the landing configuration with flaps extended at 38 degrees and with an iced stabilizer due to premature de-icing by the crew. After this, the LP was amended in the RLE, requiring the release of the flaps in icing conditions only to an intermediate position.

A number of An-24s were lost due to the failure of other systems. Here are just a few of those cases.

December 9, 1977, the crash of the An-24RV of the Tyumen UGA, Tarko-Sale (RSFSR) During takeoff at night at an altitude of 120 m, the flaps retracted out of sync, the aircraft collided with the ground.

January 28 (September), 1984 An-24RV aircraft crash, USSR-47358 of the West Siberian State Administration, Izhevsk airport. The plane was flying Kuibyshev - Izhevsk. At night in the PMU, before descending from 4200m flight level after turning off the autopilot, the crew determined a complete failure of the elevator control from the control column. The commander decided to carry out the landing approach using the elevator trimmer, which he reported to the dispatcher. In the first approach with flaps extended at 15?, from the leveling height at a speed of 270 km/h due to the aircraft pitch swing and the appearance of a pitching moment, the crew went to the second circle. released on 15? (in the first approach, the flaps were released at 38?), the aircraft again began to sway in pitch. To eliminate the buildup, the crew deflected the elevator with a trimmer to plus 15?, which subsequently vigorously, in 2 seconds, deviated to the stop for pitching. Subsequently, the pitch angle increased and the aircraft at a speed of 215 km / h and an overload of 1.68 units. fell on the right wing at a height of 3-5m, collided with the ground near the runway and collapsed. Of the 51 people on board, 4 died, incl. PKK. Before hitting the ground, the pilot only managed to reduce the roll from 60? up to 15?.

December 16, 1982 An-24B aircraft crash, USSR-46567, Moscow TU, p. Sakhanskoye, Shiryaevsky district, Ukraine. 52 minutes after takeoff from the Boryspil airport and entering the zone of the Odessa RC ATC, at an altitude of 5100m, the electrical wiring behind the AC power supply panel 115/36 V caught fire in the cockpit. The crew immediately began an emergency descent, reporting the incident to the traffic controller Odessa airport. During the descent, at the command of the ship's commander, the consumers were turned off, and then the alternating current, direct current generators with the transition to power supply from the emergency bus. All portable fire extinguishers on board were used to extinguish the fire. To create conditions for passengers and crew, the windows and the hatch of the front trunk were opened. Despite the measures taken, the fire in the cockpit could not be eliminated. The resulting smoke made it difficult for the crew to observe the instrument readings. Having assessed the situation on board, the commander of the ship made the only correct decision about an emergency landing outside the airfield, which he made safely on a field of mowed clover without releasing mechanization with retracted landing gear. After landing, the crew took the necessary measures to evacuate passengers through the rear cargo door, as the main and emergency hatches were jammed.

April 14, 1980 crash of the An-24B aircraft, USSR-47732 of the Krasnoyarsk State Administration, Krasnoyarsk (Severny) airport. Flight Krasnoyarsk - Yeniseisk. After takeoff, the right landing gear did not retract due to the destruction of the slot-hinge. The crew decided to return to the airport of departure. Since the Il-76 aircraft was at the takeoff, the An-24B crew landed at an angle to the runway 20-30?. Touching the runway 200m from the end, the aircraft continued to move along the viscous ground, passing about 600m in the direction of the apron. Then the right landing gear fell into a hole. The plane turned around, it partially collapsed and caught fire. During the evacuation, according to some sources, one died, according to others, two passengers out of 52 who were on board.

And in 1997, the cause of the An-24 disaster was structural fatigue.

March 18, 1997 crash of An-24RV RA-46516 JSC Stavropol Joint Stock Airline, n.p. Cherkessk (RF). Flight Stavropol (Shpakovskoye) - Trabzon. During a cruising flight at an altitude of 6000 m, the aircraft fuselage was destroyed in the area of ​​​​the toilet cabin, which led to the separation of the tail section and an uncontrolled fall of the aircraft. All on board were killed, 44 passengers and 6 crew members. The investigation found that the fuselage of the aircraft had deep pockets of corrosion that arose during operation in African countries in conditions of high humidity, and unnoticed during the maintenance and repair of the aircraft. In some places, the skin has thinned to 1 mm, the power elements have lost more than half of their cross section. All this led to the fact that under conditions of increased load, the fuselage collapsed in flight.

External factors

In addition to the 1972 disaster in Svetlogorsk, at least 4 An-24s were lost due to fog, and one more was lost due to thunderstorms and icing.

April 28, 1975 An-24RV aircraft crash, USSR-46476, Poltava airport. During the landing approach to the SMU according to the OSP (visibility - 2000m), the aircraft fell into a surface fog. The PIC allowed a descent below the glide path and the aircraft collided with the ground short of the runway. Reasons: a sharp deterioration in weather conditions, crew error.

December 17, 1976 An-24RV aircraft crash, USSR-46722, Ukrainian State Administration, Zhuliany airport (Kyiv). Flight Chernivtsi - Kyiv (Zhulyany). In conditions of low cloudiness, snow with rain, icing and fog (visibility - 600m), at night, at 1265 m from the runway, the BPRM collided with the concrete fence of the Zhuliany airport, then, flying another 115m, crashed into a railway embankment 4.5m high, collapsed and caught fire. 48 of the 55 people on board were killed. Information about the deterioration of visibility below the minimum of 700m was not reported to the crew, which began the descent late with Vy above the calculated one. At 2500m from the runway, the An-24 crossed the glide path and continued to descend with an overestimated vertical speed. At the altitude of decision-making, the crew, having no visual references, did not go around.

May 3, 1996, An-24 ST-FAG crash, area Nai Yusif (Sudan). After a number of unsuccessful landing attempts at the Khartoum airfield in a severe thunderstorm, the crew decided on an emergency landing. During its execution, the aircraft collided with buildings.

February 28, 1973, crash of An-24 b / n 012 of the Polish Air Force, Szczecin region (Poland) During the ZNP at night in icing conditions, the aircraft fell into a turbulence zone and collided with the ground. On board was a Polish-Czechoslovak delegation, which included the ministers of the interior of Poland and Czechoslovakia.

Reasons unknown

It was not possible to establish the causes of a number of disasters, while in three cases there is reason to assume the downing of missiles.

January 6, 1968 An-24B aircraft crash, USSR-47773, Yakutsk State Administration, 92 km west of Olekminsk. The An-24B aircraft was flying along the route Yakutsk - Olekminsk - Lensk - Bratsk - Krasnoyarsk - Novosibirsk. On board were 39 passengers, including three children, and a crew of 6 people. After taking off from Olekminsk, the crew reported that they had taken flight level 4500m. The weather conditions along the route were favorable, which was confirmed by other crews. During the flight, the crew did not report any deviations in flight, and the intonation of the voice indicated that the crew was in a calm state. After 8 minutes, the control tower controller drew attention to the disappearance of the aircraft mark on the PPI. The crew did not answer the call. After 3 hours, the An-2 crew discovered several fires 92 km from Olekminsk. On January 7, the wreckage of the aircraft was found in the specified area scattered within a radius of 7 km. The tail of the aircraft lay at a distance of 6 km from the fuselage in front of the flight path. The crew and passengers of the aircraft, 45 people, were killed. On the tape recording, the commission found the inclusion of an unknown on-board radio transmitter 2 minutes before the disappearance of the mark on the PPI. For an unknown reason, there was a sudden destruction of the structure of the aircraft in the air. According to rumors, the plane could have been shot down by a missile.

April 1, 1970 An-24 aircraft crash, USSR-47751, West Siberian State Administration. The plane crashed near the settlement. Toguchin, Novosibirsk region. There were 45 people on board, all died. The official reason is that the plane collided with a weather balloon. There is a version that he was accidentally shot down during missile launches in the air defense forces.

January 22, 1973 crash of the An-24B aircraft, USSR-46276 of the North Caucasian UGA, the area of ​​the settlement. Fir. Flight Krasnodar - Kazan - Perm. At night, 15 minutes before the estimated time of arrival, while descending from 5700m to 5100m at an altitude of 5400m, the aircraft suddenly banked strongly to the right, then to the left and went into a tailspin, reaching a speed of almost 500km/h. At an altitude of 2700m, he again began to climb a little and entered the loop. At the top of the loop, the horizontal stabilizers and detachable parts of the wing broke off, and at the exit from the loop, the tail section. The aircraft went into a deep spin and collided with the ground at a horizontal speed of 20-30 km/h and a vertical speed of 250-270 km/h 95 km southwest of Perm airport near the village of Pikhtovka. Thanks to the fall of part of the fuselage into deep snow, four passengers survived, but soon died from the cold (-41? C) before rescuers arrived. A total of 5 crew members and 39 passengers were killed. On the skin of the aircraft, traces of a possible defeat of the SAM aircraft were found.

December 9, 1977 An-24RV aircraft crash, USSR-47695, Tyumen UGA, settlement Tarko-Sale. After takeoff in the dark, the aircraft gained a height of 120 m, at which, when the flaps were retracted, a sharp increase in roll occurred. The plane went downhill, fell into the taiga right on the takeoff course 4-5 km from the runway near the village of Tarko-Sale, made a clearing, collapsed and caught fire. Of the 23 people, 17 died, only the navigator survived from the crew. The probable cause of the slip was the distraction of the crew's attention from piloting as a result of: performing an emergency lapel maneuver from an apparent obstacle along the takeoff course; normal or false operation of the light display of the artificial horizon signaling system; non-synchronous retraction of flaps.

June 26, 1991 An-24 aircraft crash USSR-46724 AKF Flight. The plane was carrying a load of televisions and crashed into the Gulf of Finland 5 minutes after takeoff from Pulkovo airport. The engines worked until the moment of impact with water, and smoke masks prepared by the crew were found in the cockpit.

Well, how about without an emergency? Because of them, 4 An-24s were also lost.

March 1977, loss of An-24РВ YR-AMC, Bacau airfield (Romania) Damaged in the parking lot, decommissioned.

July 28, 1992, loss of An-24B LZ-ANN, Sofia airfield. A crane fell on the plane, causing damage to it, after which the An-24 was not restored.

March 4, 2005, loss of An-24 by the Congolese AK, Impfondo airfield (Congo). Burnt down in a fire.

Combat Damage

The An-24 also failed to avoid losses from fire impact. 4 of them were destroyed in 2001 during air raids, one burned down in parking lots during the shelling of airfields in Afghanistan and Sudan, another one was shot down.

September 24, 1980, combat loss of An-24TV YI-AEM Iraqi Airways, Kirkuk (Iraq) Destroyed during an air raid.

September 24 (August?) 1989, combat loss of An-24 AK Ariana, Kabul. Destroyed during a ground attack.

October 2001, 3 An-24B (YA-DAH, YA-DAJ and another one with registration unknown to the author), Kabul airfield. Destroyed in the parking lot during an air raid by US Air Force aircraft.

It is likely that another aircraft, which had civilian registration, was shot down by MANPADS in Sri Lanka.

September 29, 1998, the crash of An-24РВ EW-46465, was leased from JSC "Gomelavia" Mannar (Sri Lanka). During the climb at flight level 4250 m, the crew reported a depressurization of the cabin, and the mark from the aircraft disappeared from the radar screens. Most likely, the plane was shot down by the rebels.

summer-autumn 2014, An-24 UR-46477 AK 410th ARZ, RA-46447 AK Desna-Avia, Donetsk. Destroyed during the battles for the airport.

capture

Another An-24 was lost due to a terrorist attack.

March 14, 1970, An-24B, SU-AOC, Cairo (Egypt). 4 minutes after takeoff, an explosion occurred in the left engine nacelle. Landing gear and flaps could not be released, the aircraft made an emergency landing on a dirt runway. The passengers and crew are alive. Suspicion of a terrorist attack.

In addition, on the territory of the USSR alone, the hijackers captured the An-24 15 times, while in five cases they managed to fly abroad. After 1991, no such cases have been registered on the territory of the post-Soviet countries. But outside the Land of the Soviets, the hijackers showed interest in aircraft of this type at least 25 times, and the largest number of cases was registered in Poland - 17. In 13 out of 25 cases, the hijackings were successful.

The crew performed a charter flight to transport the watch of oilmen. The deterioration of the weather conditions at Sovetsky airport led to a delay in the flight (the crew completed pre-flight training for the first time at 10:38). The weather forecast for the Sovetsky airport from 12:00 to 19:00 provided for: storm, unsteady wind 3 m/s, visibility 1,000 m, haze, sleet, cloudiness 10 points stratified rain, broken rain 80 m high, moderate icing, upper limit 500 m. Upon receipt of data on improved weather, which made it possible to make a decision to take off (actual weather at 12:20 - wind 20 ° 1 m/s, visibility 3 km, haze, snow, cloudiness 10 points, nimbostratus, broken-nimbus, 180 m high), the PIC decided to take off at 13:15. At the same time, the crew did not recalculate the required amount of fuel (2,900 kg). This did not provide access to the selected alternate airfields Perm and Nizhnevartovsk.
Takeoff was made at 13:55 Moscow time. The controller cleared the flight at flight level 5,700 m. The flight proceeded without deviations. When entering the zone of the VRC Urai, the crew, based on the actual weather and the two-hour weather forecast of the Uray a/d, chose him as a substitute, which they reported to the ATC controller of Urai.
Having carried out pre-landing preparations in full, the crew at 15:16, after receiving the actual weather at the airfield for 14:50 and the dispatcher's permission, began to descend. By decision of the PIC, the co-pilot was piloting, which contradicted the instructions of the An-24 Flight Crew Training Program (VNGO not less than 200 m, visibility not less than 2,000 m). In violation of the RLE, the crew did not turn on the AOS (it was turned on only after the “Icing” alarm went off three times before the flight of the LBM). At 15:24 at the transition level of 1,200 m, the crew set the airfield pressure to 736 mm Hg, reported to the dispatcher, and after checking the altimeter readings, proceeded to descend to a circle altitude of 500 m, which they took at a distance of 17 km from the runway.
The landing approach was carried out at night in the SMU according to the OSB with MK=304°. The controller, in violation of NPP GA-85 and the Work Procedure, did not provide the crew with updated data on the actual weather, as well as the location and marking of the runway.
At 15:25:10 at an airspeed of 310-315 km/h the landing gear was extended, then at a speed of 285 km/h the flaps were extended by 15°. At the same time, the RV-5 radio altimeter setter was set to a height of 62 m. At a speed of 240 km / h, the flaps were extended to the landing position (30 °). At 15:26:40 the PIC reported the entrance to the glide path and readiness for landing. The entrance to the glide path at an altitude of 500 m occurred at a distance of 10,600 m from the end of the runway. The descent to a distance of 6,000 m and an altitude of 250 m corresponded to the approach scheme using the NSP and was carried out with maintaining the flight parameters along the glide path.
With a further descent from a height of 250 m, a special situation began to develop, when the vertical speed increased to 5 m/s, which, with the crew's attention diverted to correcting the lateral deviation, led to the aircraft going under the glide path. As a result, the LBM was passed at a height of 120-150 m instead of 210 m. During the flight of the LBM, the crew reduced the vertical rate of descent to 2 m/s, and then to zero, completing a horizontal platform 1,000 m long before entering the glide path. Then the flight continued along the glide path. At an altitude of 130 m and a VLL of 100 m, in violation of the Crew Operation Procedure, the flight mechanic did not issue the commands “Assessment” and “Decision Altitude”, and the PIC on the VLL did not inform the crew of the decision. The checking flight mechanic-instructor did not take measures to correct the mistakes made by the checked flight mechanic.
At a distance of 3,000 m, after receiving information from the controller about the change in weather conditions, which were below the An-24 minimum (80x2000 m), the crew, instead of go-around, in violation of the requirements of NPP GA-85, continued to descend, and from a height of 75 m increased vertical speed to 6 m/s. The situation turned into an emergency. Despite the operation of the radio altimeter setter at an altitude of 62 m, the crew did not stop descending. Only at a height of 35 m was the steering wheel sharply taken up, which led to an increase in vertical overload to 1.45 units. These measures were belated and could not prevent collision with trees after 1-2 seconds. after taking the helm "on itself". Immediately before the collision, both engines were switched to takeoff mode by one of the crew members without a team.
The aircraft collided with the trees at a distance of 180 m from the BRM with the right plane, which led to its destruction and the shutdown of the right engine with automatic feathering of the explosives by PCM. The left engine entered the takeoff mode normally. Asymmetric thrust and deterioration of the aerodynamic characteristics of the damaged plane led to the development of the right roll up to 27°. The crew by deflecting the ailerons and rudder (to the stop) reduced the roll to 12°. However, after 2 seconds, the aircraft abruptly went into a right bank with an angular velocity of 16°/sec. and later, at 15:28:47, with a roll of about 90°, it collided with the ground at a distance of 700 m from the runway threshold and 250 m to the right of its axis. The first impact occurred with the right wing on the highway embankment. Subsequently, the plane collided with an earthen rampart on the other side of the road, which led to its complete destruction and fire. 27 passengers and 5 crew members died. 8 passengers are seriously injured.
