March 6 2018 372

The Information Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation publishes urgent information about the crash of a military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria. From the message:

6 March around 15.00 (Moscow time) during the landing approach at the Khmeimim airfield the Russian transport aircraft An-26 crashed. According to preliminary data, the 26 passenger and 6 crew members were aboard the aircraft. They all died.

In Syria, crashed An-26 RFL. 32 man died

It is known that the plane fell, about half a kilometer from the airfield runway.

It is necessary to study the circumstances of the crash up to the consideration of the version of the error of the pilots or a strike on the Russian plane from the ground.

It is noted that one of the versions of what happened is the possible technical malfunction of the aircraft.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports the formation of the commission, which should establish the causes of the collapse of the transport worker.

Data on who exactly was on board the aircraft that crashed near the Hmeymim airbase in the province of Lattakia, at this moment (16: 50 Moscow time) is not given.

It was added that there was no fire impact on An-26.

The weather here is terrible today, a strong hot wind blows from the desert (hamsin) with sand, there is no visibility, so there could be a micro gust of a downward flow

This phenomenon is quite rare. But the wind shear could well arrange this. I don’t know how at the air base, but in Latakia there was the following:
METAR: OSLK 061400Z 16012G25KT

Gusts of wind with a double drop in speed (from 12 knots to 25) is pretty much up to a fig. And if there’s another shift in height ...

During the Soviet Union, there were a number of disasters in Central Asia associated with the sudden withdrawal of cold air masses to the ground. In one of the cases, the Yak-40 in the area of the far drive fell into a powerful downward air flow and, despite the take-off engine mode set by the crew and the complete deviation of the aircraft to pitch up, they could not do anything and fell flat, all to death.
By the way, this also happened during the Second World War: I read the memoirs of a bomber pilot. At night, on the IL-4, they were caught in a thunderstorm and a downward flow of cold air. They were pulled down from 1500 meters: they went to 1600 meters, but they were very lucky that they were above some valley, so they didn’t crash, but with their pants full of impressions they passed at low level.

  Wind shear is something else. This is when its direction suddenly changes direction with a slight change in altitude. What affects airspeed?

    ...and/or speed. And not necessarily when changing height (the so-called “vertical shift”); the shift can also be detected in horizontal flight.

        This aircraft stood for a long time without operation.. it’s a long story (I won’t describe these details now..) it was necessary to transport it to the factory (the road is long, as they say..) first, test it for a flyby, in the area of the airfield... Now you see just consequences-*dancing* ((

  This is a descent in a small radius spiral followed by a landing approach. In Faizabad, the An-26 completed its fourth turn at an altitude of less than 30 meters with a roll of over 30.
  It’s a pity that I still didn’t have the camera at hand at the right time. But the spectacle was impressive.

        Well, I understand this, it’s just that no one has canceled the stall speed and maximum rolls with angles of attack... I doubt that in Afghanistan anyone made downward rolls or combat turns on the An-26. Although for you, warrior, anything can happen.

        You yourself know that there are operational limitations and aerodynamic capabilities. And if: you can’t, but you have to, then it’s possible to climb.
        The main thing is to do it wisely, taking into account loading, refueling, and so on.
        
        By the way, here is some semblance of how the An-26 landed in Faizabad back then.
        But very, very pale:

      The maximum is 30 degrees, but BKK lights up the “heavy bank” sign already at 26.

  If only the An-26. How many helicopters were destroyed?
  And one of the reasons is that in the union the USP was too regulated. On the Mi-24, even in the zone, a roll of more than 30 was not allowed.
  But in Afghanistan it turned out that everything is possible at once. Well, off we go.

I don’t understand, what do you want to say that the pilots have nothing to do with it ?!

I want to say that blaming it on “pilot mistakes” every time is like writing on a death certificate that he died of cardiac arrest. Regardless of the fact that the person died of cancer or of a gunshot wound. Strictly formally, this is so - everyone dies of cardiac arrest But the reasons for this are different. And he had to be treated for cancer.

Pilot mistakes are only the final chord. They are the fruit of imperfect technology, training systems, and work organization. Behind these reasons is a multi-billion dollar system. Which no one wants to touch or change. Therefore, “pilot mistakes” are repeated every time

First, a plane

Agree . Without knowing the take-off point, route, special cargo, passenger composition, weather conditions, fuel balance and quality... It is impossible to build a sober version of the crash. All you have to do is be patient and wait for the commission’s result.

The Lebanese newspaper Addiyar published information that the Jaish al-Islam group took responsibility for yesterday's crash of the An-26 plane in Khmeimim. The message says that it is not yet possible to verify JaI's information.

Jaish al-Islam said five of its fighters fired heavy machine guns at the plane at an altitude of about 100 meters. The sabotage group conducted a free hunt and attacked the first plane that came across.

It is said that the operation was carried out in response to the bombing of Eastern Ghouta by Russian planes..... "
