Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1960s

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Ilyushin Il-18V, similar to the one involved in the deadliest accident the carrier experienced during the decade, is seen here at Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the late 1960s.

Following is a list of accidents and incidents Aeroflot experienced in the 1960s. The deadliest event the Soviet Union's flag carrier went through in the decade occurred in November 1967 (1967-11), when an Ilyushin Il-18V crashed upside down shortly after takeoff from Koltsovo Airport in Sverdlovsk, then located in the Russian SSR, killing all 107 occupants on board,[1] prompting the temporary grounding of the type within the airline's fleet. In terms of fatalities, the accident ranks as the fifth worst involving an Il-18, as of April 2016.[2] Another aircraft of the type was involved in the second deadliest accident the airline experienced in the decade, this time in September 1964 (1964-09), when 87 people were killed when the aircraft struck a hillside on approach to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The decade was also marked by the only deadly accident experienced by a Tupolev Tu-114, which entered commercial service on the Moscow–Khabarovsk route in April 1961 (1961-04).[3][4]

The number of recorded fatalities aboard Aeroflot aircraft during the decade rose to 1801; likewise, 175 of its aircraft were written off in accidents or incidents, split into six Antonov An-10s, 13 Antonov An-12s, 54 Antonov An-2s, two Antonov An-6s, 8 Antonov An-24s, two Avia 14s, one Ilyushin Il-12, 22 Ilyushin Il-14s, 31 Ilyushin Il-18s, 12 Lisunov Li-2s, 14 Tupolev Tu-104s, two Tupolev Tu-114s, and five Tupolev Tu-124s. Most of the fatal accidents took place within the borders of the Soviet Union.

Certain Western media conjectured that the Soviet government was reluctant to publicly admit the occurrence of such events, which might render these figures higher, as fatal events would have only been admitted when there were foreigners aboard the crashed aircraft, the accident took place in a foreign country, or they reached the news for some reason.[5] However, no significant amount of unreported serious accidents have emerged after the dissolution of the USSR, in any of its then-constituent republics.

Date Location Aircraft Tail number Airline division Aircraft damage Fatalities Description Refs
15 January 1960 Soviet UnionDidino Li-2 CCCP-19405 Ural W/O 1/4 The aircraft was being ferried from Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) to Moscow with a stop at Kazan. Thirty-two minutes after takeoff from Sverdlovsk, the pilot noticed that the aircraft begin turning to the right and also noticed that the pressure and revs in the right engine were dropping. After turning off the autopilot, the flight engineer reported that the right engine had failed. Despite the crew's efforts, the engine could not be restarted and the crew decided to return to Sverdlovsk and feathered the right propeller. The aircraft lost altitude during a left turn, and the crew began throwing cargo out of the aircraft in an attempt to slow its descent, but some of the larger cargo got stuck in the front door, worsening the aerodynamics but also causing a shift in the center of gravity. The aircraft was able to level out and continued flying, but the left engine began to overheat and later lost power, causing a loss of altitude. The aircraft slowly lost altitude until it struck trees and crashed. [6]
19 February 1960 Soviet UnionBerezovo An-2V CCCP-01271 Ural W/O 0 The aircraft was refueled at Berezovo Airport with too much fuel. The aircraft took off overloaded with the fuel valve shut off, causing the engine to lose power and a loss of airspeed and altitude resulted. The confused pilots realized this, but too late, and mistook the loss of power for an engine failure. A forced landing was carried out. [7]
19 February 1960 Soviet UnionMoma Airport An-2T CCCP-98332 Yakut W/O 0/13 On takeoff, the aircraft entered a steep climb with a loss of airspeed. At 20 m (66 ft) the aircraft entered a spiraling dive and crashed next to the runway. The aircraft was overloaded and the center of gravity was too far to the rear. [8]
26 February 1960 Soviet UnionLvov An-10A CCCP-11180 Ukraine W/O 32/33 Crashed on approach to Snilow Airport, 1,400 metres (4,600 ft) ahead of the runway threshold, in icing conditions. It was completing a domestic scheduled Kiev–Lviv passenger service as Flight 315. [9]
27 April 1960 Soviet UnionKoltsovo Airport Il-18A CCCP-75648 Ural W/O 1/5 The aircraft was being used for crew training, practicing approaches and landings. During the fifth approach, the rate of descent suddenly increased and the aircraft touched down hard, nosegear first after which it bounced and landed again nosegear first, breaking off the nosegear, bounced again and struck the runway, but the propellers had struck the runway. The aircraft skidded to the side of the runway and caught fire. The pilot showed a passive behavior during the approach and the instructor had little experience on the Il-18. The rear cargo hold was also loaded with too little ballast and this had moved the center of gravity too far forward. [10]
5 May 1960 Soviet UnionEnken Li-2 CCCP-84609 Far East W/O 5/5 During a positioning flight from Nikolayevsk-on-Amure to Okhotsk, the aircraft encountered severe turbulence and snow. Ice formed on the wings and the aircraft lost speed and altitude until it struck the side of the 1,207 m (3,960 ft) high Dzhugdzur ridge at 900 m (3,000 ft). [11]
10 June 1960 Soviet Unionnear Tkvarcheli Il-14P CCCP-91571 North Caucasus W/O 31/31 While en route to Tbilisi, the aircraft struck a mountain at 1,200 m (3,900 ft) after the crew deviated north of the flight route by 17 km (11 mi). The aircraft was operating a domestic scheduled Rostov-Sochi-Kutaisi-Tbilisi passenger service as Flight 207. [12]
5 July 1960 Soviet UnionAldan An-2 CCCP-98282 Yakut W/O 3/4 During an aerial photography flight, the pilot realized the aircraft was going to hit a hill. He turned the aircraft to go around the hill, but too late, after which the aircraft clipped a tree with its left wing, hit a second tree with its right wing and crashed in taiga and caught fire. The next day, the two surviving crew left in different directions to seek help. The flight operator was able to walk to a helicopter landing site and was flown to a hospital in Aldan, but the navigator was never seen again; his body was found on 16 July in taiga some 4 km (2.5 mi) from the crash site. [13]

[18]
26 September 1960 Soviet UnionBrest Airport Il-14M CCCP-41866 Belarus W/O 1/27 Crashed on landing at Brest Airport. After passing Kobrin the right engine began to run rough and emitted black smoke. The crew shut down the engine, feathered the propeller, and continued to Brest. Due to poor weather at Brest the crew began circling. Unbeknownst to the crew, the aircraft had deviated from the approach and ATC ordered the crew to perform a go-around. Instead of a go-around, the crew continued the approach. The flaps and landing gear were lowered. ATC ordered a missed approach, but the crew did not respond and landed at high speed. The aircraft overran the runway and destroyed the VHF direction finder booth. The aircraft struck a pond, breaking off the nose gear. On the opposite bank of the pond the right engine separated. The aircraft came to a stop on the opposite side with a destroyed cockpit. The aircraft was completing a Moscow-Mogilev-Minsk-Brest passenger service as Flight 607. [19]

1 February 1961 Soviet UnionVladivostok Airport Tu-104A CCCP-42357 MUTA W/O 0/58 The aircraft was completing a Moscow–Khabarovsk–Vladivostok passenger service as Flight 01. While on approach to Vladivostok, the aircraft was too high. The right engine was shut down, unbeknownst to the crew. The pilot increased the angle of descent and the aircraft touched down too late and too fast. The brakes were ineffective due to the high speed and the brakes were applied, but the pilot did not use much braking to avoid tire blowouts. The pilot then began turning and ran off the runway and the left engine was shut down. The aircraft struck two trucks before crashing into a ditch. [31]
16 March 1961 Soviet UnionSverdlovsk Tu-104B CCCP-42438 West Siberia W/O 5/51 The aircraft was operating a domestic scheduled Khabarovsk-Sverdlovsk-Leningrad passenger service as Flight 068. The right engine failed shortly after takeoff. The crew were unable to determine which engine failed because they could not read the instruments due to severe vibration. A crew member manipulated the left engine throttle to attempt to hear the difference in engine power to determine which engine had failed, but the engine was shut down by mistake. The aircraft lost altitude and the crew made a forced landing on a frozen pond. Two people on the ground died when a home was destroyed. [32]
17 March 1961 Soviet UnionUfa Li-2 CCCP-54783 Privolzhsk W/O 2/4 The aircraft took off from Ufa in poor weather and failed to gain sufficient speed.
