Aeroflot Flight A-513 was a commercial scheduled flight from Arkhangelsk-Talaghy Airport to Amderma Airport. On final approach to Amderma Airport, the plane struck a slope on a hill and broke up.^[1] Out of the 43 occupants, only two passengers and a flight attendant survived, all with serious injuries.^[2]

The subsequent investigation revealed that the crew committed multiple errors during the final approach to Amderma Airport.^[2]

Aircraft[edit]

The aircraft involved in the accident was an Antonov An-24RV, registered CCCP-46269 to Aeroflot. It had made its first flight in 1967. The aircraft had accumulated 19,917 flight hours and 13,194 pressurization cycles at the time of the accident.^[1]^[2]

Accident[edit]

On September 2, 1979, the aircraft took off from Arkhangelsk-Talaghy Airport at 22:21 Moscow time. On board were 37 passengers and six crew members. 32 of the passengers were adults, while the other five were children.^[2]

After the plane crashed, four occupants were found alive; a flight attendant, an adult passenger, and two children. One of the two children who initially survived the crash died in a hospital. Ultimately, only one flight attendant and two passengers survived the crash.^[2]

Cause[edit]

The cause of the disaster was determined to be violations and errors by the crew of the requirements of the GA-78 NPP in terms of maintaining the established descent trajectory during the landing approach using the OSP system at night in the SMU, which led to a premature reduction of the aircraft and its collision with the ground. These violations and errors included:

The crew reported an altitude of 600 meters when their actual flight altitude was 480 meters.
The crew did not take measures for a missed approach when the aircraft did not reach the established trajectory in altitude, causing a premature descent.
The pilot” did not follow from the navigator-trainee or during the flight of the VPR “The height of decision making”, from the PIC “Keep by instruments”. The PIC did not inform the crew about the decision to land.
The co-pilot, in the absence of the PIC team “Sit down”, did not perform a go-around.
The navigator-instructor went into the cabin and did not take part in the work of the crew during the landing approach.
The departure from the airport Arkhangelsk was allowed with an excess of the flight weight by 816 kg.
The crew did not take into account the peculiarities of the airfield and lighting equipment.
