Search and rescue operations

Search and rescue operations increased momentum in the crash zone of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The Tu-154 aircraft debris was found at a depth of 50-70 meters 1.5 km from the Black Sea coast. 5.5 km from coastline Passengers who were on board were found.

RIA News

According to the latest data, 10 tel detected rescuers. Persons have not yet been established - identification will be held in Moscow. Formed a search area of \u200b\u200b10.5 square kilometers with an area of \u200b\u200b10.5 square kilometers. Over 3,000 people participate in the operation, 27 ships and ships are involved.

Causes of the Tu-154 aircraft

One of the main reasons for air crash Tu-154 December 25, 2016 could become constructive feature plane. According to the general director of the company "Alliance Aviation Aviation Technologies" Viktor Prank, Tu-154 has a warning mode of an angle of attack, which makes up about 16-17 degrees, from which the aircraft can no longer be out if immediately after takeoff continue to vigorously gain height. The expert believes that the pilot could not take into account this feature.

According to another expert, the ex-head of the change of the chief center of the unified system of organization air traffic Russia Vitaly Andreeva, the established situation " may say that there is an emergency situation on board - or the effect of outside the car, or a meeting with an obstacle that was unlikely to».

"Those versions of the failures on board, which are now voiced - the unbalance of the steering wheel, the deviation from the installed trajectory of the flight - quite accurately could not interfere with the crew about this signal to earth," says Andreev.

World reaction

A plane crash Tu-154 December 25, 2016 shocked the world and caused a wide resonance. Condolences are pronounced by President of Russia personally, who signed a decree on the declaration of mourning due to the crash of Tu-154.

Condolences to the families of the victims expressed both world leaders and a not indifferent population, placing flowers at the Russian Embassies in their countries.

After fully deciphering the black boxes of a breakdown in late December 2016, in the water area of \u200b\u200bSochi Tu-154 - parametric and speech - Experts of the Ministry of Defense actually can already immediately call the causes of the aircraft crash. According to experts, the aircraft with passengers joined the totality of several factors: boardwent to last flight overloaded and second pilot Alexander Rovnskyon take-off, perhapsinterpreted chassis control levers and flaps. When the crew noticed a mistake, it was already too late: severe Tu-154 simply did not have enough height for the saving maneuver, so hehit about the water by the tail of the fuselage and collapsed.

Heavy and unmanageable

The source of Life, familiar with the course of the investigation of the causes of the catastrophe, said that the notorious human factor was recognized as a priority version of the Tu-154 crash.

Experts of the Research Center of Operation and Repair of the Ministry of Defense of the Ministry of Defense in Lyubertsy, the speech and parametries (fixing the work of all units of the aircraft) of the recorder say that in the third minute of flight, when the liner was at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, the sensors of the course stability system were worked out, - told Life source. - The car began to dramatically lose height due to problems with flaps.

According to experts, it could happen after the second pilot, 33-year-old captain Alexander Rovnsky, instead of removing the chassis, removed the flap.

From this, the plane passed into an expulsive angle of attack, the crew tried to deploy the car to reach the ground, but did not have time to do this, he added the source of the Life.

As it turned out, the situation aggravated the overload Tu-154. In the luggage compartment, everything was filled under the urban. The tail of the aircraft pulled down. It was impossible to save the car: lacked speeds and heights.The tail part of the first touched the water, and then Tu-154at high speedi hit the sea with the right wing and collapsed.

According to the source of the Life, the emergency situation was a complete surprise for the crew: in the first seconds, the aircraft commander 35-year-old Major Roman Wolves and the second pilot Alexander Rovnsky were confused, but they quickly took themselves in their hands until the last seconds they tried to save the aircraft until the last seconds.

Decoding:

Speed \u200b\u200b300 ... (Illegible.)

- (Illegible.)

He took the racks, commander.

Wow, e-mine!

(Sound signal sounds.)

Floor, bitch, what is x ** nya!

Altimeter!

Us... (Illegible.)

(Signal sounds about dangerous rapprochement from Earth.)

- (Illegible.)

Commander, we fall!

So experts realized that the aircraft had problems with closeds precisely by the fault of the crew.

Pilots flying on Tu-154, with whom Life touched, confirm the findings of the experts of the Ministry of Defense that the cause of the catastrophe could be the error of pilots.

Tupolev, the handles of cleaning the chassis and closes are made on the visor of the cockpit of pilots, between them, above the windshield. You can confuse them, especially if the second pilot sitting on the right, the duties of which include the control of closed and the chassis during the takeoff, tired, "said Viktor Sazhenin Honored pilot, who himself flew to Tu-154, told Life. "From this, the plane moved to the shipyard angle of attack, hit the water, and he fell off the tail part.

This version considers the permissible and pilot test of the hero of Russia Magomed Tolbeev.

On the control panel Tu-154, flaps and chassis tumblers are located above the windshield. Flare - left, chassis - right. The second pilot is responsible for them, which sits in the chair on the right. It is possible that the pilot could confuse the levers or distracting with something, so the plane took off with the chassis released and the closed places, "Tolbeev told Life.

According to Tolbaeva, it is impossible to exclude such a version that after the takeoff crew exceeded the speed and the closure mechanism collapsed, because of which the liner fell to the right, lost speed and collapsed into the water.

Tragic experience

Another factor of the Tu-154 catastrophe in Sochi could be the absence of sufficient knowledge commander and the second pilot, how to act in an extreme situation.

A catastrophe with Tu-154 B-2 with the onboard number RA-85572 The Ministry of Defense occurred on December 25, 2016. It was at 5:40 am Moscow time 1.7 kilometers from the coast of Sochi. The board of the Ministry of Defense flew into the Syrian Hmeimim from the airfield Chkalovsky, and in Sochi he only refuel. On board the liner was 92 people. A few minutes after the cut from the strip, the plane disappeared from radar screens.

A broken liner was based on the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow and was part of the FGBU "State Airlines 223rd Falls" of the Ministry of Defense, which carries out the transport of military personnel.

The modification of Tu-154 B-2 is designed to transport 180 passengers of the economic class and produced from 1978 to 1986. A total of 382 aircraft were built. Since 2012, Russian civil air carriers are not exploited by Tu-154 B-2.

Latest news about the cracked Tu-154 aircraft in Sochi: experts told why on December 25 last year, the defense ministry crashed over the Black Sea.

The reason for the crash of the aircraft in Sochi, the latest news: why the Tu-154 broke over the Black Sea, experts of the Ministry of Defense said

According to the results of the complete deciphering of the parametric and speech onboard recorders of the Tu-154 aircraft, in December 2017, the experts of the Ministry of Defense told about the causes of the crash. According to experts, the airliner with passengers ruined a combination of several factors: the side went to Syria overloaded, and the second pilot Alexander Rovnsky confused on the takeoff of the chassis management levers and flaps, and when intkbbch The crew noticed a mistake, it was already too late: the heavy Tu-154 did not have enough height for the saving maneuver, and he is the tail part of the fuselage, after which he collapsed.

An acquaintance of the investigation Source Life said that the priority version of the crash was recognized by the human factor.

"Aviation workers of the Ministry of Defense of the Research Center of Operation and Repair of the Ministry of Defense of the Development and Repair Center of the Ministry of Defense of the Ministry of Defense in Lyubertsy (fixing all the units of the aircraft) of the Samiefers say that in the third minute of flights, when the liner was at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, the sensors of the course stability system worked . The car has become sharply lose height due to ", - quotes the edition source.

Experts argue that this happened after the second pilot, 33-year-old captain Alexander Rovnsky, removed the flap instead of the chassis.

"From this, the plane has moved to the sent angle of attack, the crew tried to deploy the car to reach the ground, but did not have time to do this," the source stressed.

The situation aggravated the overload Tu-154, which is why the tail of the aircraft pulled down.

The source claims that an abnormal situation has become a complete surprise for the crew: the commander of the airliner 35-year-old Major Roman Wolves and the second pilot Alexander Rovnsky were confused in the first seconds, but then they took themselves in hand until recently they tried to save the aircraft until the last seconds.

The pilots flying at the Tu-154, with which the journalists managed to communicate were confirmed by the findings of the experts of the Ministry of Defense that the cause of the catastrophe could be the error of pilots.

Commander of the Wolkov Ship Roman Aleksandrovich and Assistant Commander of the Ship Captain Rovnsky Alexander Sergeevich

"Attolev's" Tupolev "handles for the cleaning of the chassis and closes are made on the visor of the cockpit of pilots, between them, above the windshield. It is possible to confuse them, especially if the second pilot sitting on the right, the responsibility of which includes control of flaps and chassis during the takeoff, tired. From This plane went to the shipyard angle of attack, hit the water, and he fell off the tail part, "said Viktor Sazhenin's honored pilot.

This version considers the admissible pilot test of the hero of Russia Magomed Tolbeev.

"On the control panel Tu-154, flaps and chassis stands are above the windshield. The flaps on the left, the chassis is to the right. For them, the second pilot is responsible, which sits in the chair to the right. It is possible that the pilot could confuse the levers or distracting something , Therefore, the plane took off with the chassis released and cleaned closed, "he said, noting that it was impossible to exclude the versions that after takeoff the crew exceeded the speed, which led to the destruction of the closure mechanism.

Another wreck factor of Tu-154 in Sochi could be the lack of sufficient knowledge of sufficient knowledge regarding actions in an extreme situation.

"Most likely, nor the commander of the aircraft Roman Volkov, nor the second pilot Alexander Rovnsky, who ended with military schools at the beginning of zero years, did not pass special training," explained the representative of the Catastrophe Investigation Commission in Sochi.

He stated that if the pilots were held special piloting preparations in extreme situations in the Lipetsk Air Center for Retraining Military pilots or in Lii names in Gromov, then perhaps the catastrophe would be able to avoid.

"In military schools, who finished pilots, they were unlikely to have been taught, as if the closures fails at low altitudes, put them on the return release to bring the liner from the exhaust angle of attack," he said.

In turn, the engineers of the Research Center of Operation and Repair of Aviation Acquisition of the Ministry of Defense in Lyubertsy do not exclude that when the crew tried to deploy the car to reach the earth, and the board would be able to save if not overload.

"The overload is evidenced by the fact that when the plane began to lose the height, the first water hit the tail part, which fell off, and then the car hooked the water with the right wing and collapsed into the sea," the source explained to the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, according to him, it is impossible to exclude that the baggage compartment was simply overloaded.

"After all, it was almost the last departure of a civilian board in Syria, and relatives and colleagues who were on a business trip of the military could simplify the leadership of the airfield and the crew to take on board too much. And during the flight and after landing in Sochi, the cargo could terminate. During the takeoff from Sochi, the cargo moved into the tail of the liner, and the car with a freelancer with the flaps pulled down, "the expert said.

As I wrote, the Russian Defense Ministry aircraft Tu-154 B-2 with the onboard number RA-85572 crashed in the Black Sea on December 25, 2016. On board was 92 people. All of them died.

It occur almost annually from the start of the flights of this type of aircraft. From 1973 to 2011 it was only a few years, during which there would be no incident associated with Tu-154.

In total, 72 Tu-154 aircraft were lost in accidents and disasters. Largest catastrophe Tu-154 (and all Soviet aviation) occurred on July 10, 1985 under the studio. The overwhelled plane fell into a corkscrew according to the fault of the crew. On board was 200 people, they all died.

In general, despite the fact that, according to some pilots, Tu-154 is overly complicated for a mass passenger liner and requires high qualifications of both flight and land personnel, this airliner has established itself as a completely reliable and safe aircraft. Moreover, Tu-154 plane crashes are far from always happen due to the fault of technology.

Of course, the problems of the liner happen, but more often they occur on airplanes, which are operated above the norm and do not receive appropriate maintenance. In addition, the crew errors, dispatchers, or other circumstances. For example, in 2011, the Ukrainian air defense missile was mistakenly shot down with a civil flight that flew over the Black Sea ...

From the last disasters worth noting polish Tu-154, crashed near Smolensk in 2010. In the plane is the president of Poland with his wife, as well as many high-ranking officials. All of them died.

But more favorable outcomes occur. In 2010, the plane with refused engines was able to obstructively land on an abandoned aerodrome in Izhme. This legendary company Alrosa has retained the life of 81 people.
