Since the days of Gagarin it has been commanded (1968.03.27).

Sergey, it shouldn’t be particularly surprising. Especially when it comes to the life of a person whose profession is associated with increased danger. Remember Gagarin. The same, according to one version, fell into turbulence ...

According to the first information, the reason was a sudden gust of wind. And, considering that it’s two local, easy, it’s quite possible.

I sit down

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

Yes, it’s like a finger of fate - a person can go all his life near death and die in a banal plane crash.
My condolences to the families of the victims.

God rest their souls!
Experts have named the preliminary reason for the crash of the AI-10 "Ikar" in the Moscow region: the passenger's leg got stuck between the aircraft's duplicate pedals. This became evident at the moment when the bodies were removed from under the charred wreckage of the aircraft.
A light-engine plane crashed a kilometer from the Shevlino airfield at about 4 pm. At the helm of the "Icarus" was a 43-year-old guard, retired Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Vasiliev, the former deputy commander of the aerobatic team "Swifts".
His passenger, 48-year-old Valery Bugaev, according to some reports, was also a pilot at one time. The plane went into a tailspin, possibly due to a gust of wind, but Vasiliev probably could not level it precisely because the passenger’s foot got between the pedals and jammed them, experts say.

TTX AI-10:
Engine power Rotax 912ULS 100 hp
Take-off distance 80 m
Flight range ~ 700 km
Cruising speed 160 km / h
Top speed 240 km / h
Ceiling 4000 m

It’s always a pity for the dead. But for a pilot, it’s better than from old age in bed, IMHO. Only early, Lieutenant Colonel, is this about 50?

[Zeus]

Earth rest in peace to him.

[cartridge]

Eh hehe! Once again, I am convinced that upon retirement it is better not to tempt fate once again.
For this, she (pension) is given to live with benefit and pleasure for herself and loved ones: wife, grandchildren, cottage, fishing ...

Condolences to the family of the deceased!

[screw cutter]

You tell the pilots that summer cottage, wife, grandchildren, fishing. A real pilot always flies and at every opportunity. Especially for the extra denyuzhku to retirement.

[Tiger]

I think that it’s hard for them to live without retirement, so they fly ...
Condolences ...

I imagine I didn’t even have time to blink, well, what kind of an airplane is it, which has the opportunity to hit the legs between the pedals. In 1966 took off from the Mi-1 parking lot and fell on its side. It cost a pilot and a cadet jumped out of the cockpit, the helicopter burned out in 10 minutes. It turned out that between the cadet’s seat and the control stick there was a tensiometer, which jammed the control of the machine. The technician who checked the tension of the control cables turned out to be to blame. Nevertheless, it is necessary to design and manufacture aircraft with the expectation of a fool. Eternal memory to the guys.

The case is idiotic! More ridiculous can only be artificially invented. Not a car, a large model aircraft, and a combat PILOT dies on it!

[Midshipman]

I flew there on this airplane about two years ago ...
