Sukhoi Superjet 100-95LR operated by Gazpromavia crashed in a wooded area

On July 12, 2024, a Sukhoi Superjet 100-95LR operated by Gazpromavia crashed in a wooded area of the Ozyorsky District in the Moscow Region.

The aircraft broke up and burst into flames approximately seven minutes after taking off from Lukhovitsy-Tretyakovo Airport. All three crew members on board were killed in the accident.

The aircraft had been undergoing maintenance at Lukhovitsy-Tretyakovo Airport from May 6 to July 12 and was on a ferry flight to Moscow's Vnukovo Airport (VKO). The flight departed Lukhovitsy at 14:52, with an expected arrival time at Vnukovo Airport of 15:40. Last radio contact with the flight occurred at 14:58.

Preliminary information indicates that the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 1500 meters before sharply descending. At 14:58, the altitude was recorded at 1300 meters, and by 14:59, the plane had descended more than 600 meters in seven seconds. The aircraft disappeared from radar at 14:59:28.

Preliminary Investigation Findings

Initial reports suggest a possible technical fault involving the angle-of-attack sensors. A source familiar with the situation reported that two of the four angle-of-attack sensors were installed with a deviation of approximately five degrees by an engineer at the Lukhovitsky Aviation Plant. This incorrect installation could have triggered an erroneous stall warning system activation, contributing to the crash.

Summary

The crash of the Sukhoi Superjet 100-95LR is under investigation, with preliminary findings pointing towards a potential maintenance error related to the angle-of-attack sensors. The accident resulted in the tragic loss of all three crew members on board. Further details will be available as the investigation progresses.

Aviation Safety Analysis: Accidents, Fatalities, Nature and Causes (2019 - 2024)

This report presents an in-depth analysis of aviation accidents and fatalities over the past year (2019 - 2024), based on data driven from the Aviation Safety Network’s global accident database. It provides a comprehensive breakdown of incidents by flight nature, phase of flight, accident location, and primary causes. The objective is to identify key trends and contributing factors, offering valuable insights into aviation safety and risk mitigation. The analysis is structured around five key breakdowns: Aircraft Type – Categorizing accidents by aircraft model (Jet, Piston, Turboprop). Fatal vs. Non-Fatal – Differentiating incidents based on severity and casualty levels. Land vs. Water Accidents – Identifying accident locations and environmental factors. Airliner vs. Corporate Jet – Comparing accident data across commercial and private aviation sectors. Incident Breakdown: Events & Fatalities – Total number of accidents ( 907 ) and associated fatalities ( 1304 ). Ground Fatali...
