Summary: | While approaching Bishkek for a fuel stop, the cargo plane crashed past the end of the runway destroying 23 houses. The weather at the time of the accident was freezing fog. The probablle cause of the accident was the missing control of the crew over the aircraft position in relation to the glideslope during the automatic approach, conducted at night in the weather conditions, suitable for ICAO CAT II landing, and as a result, the measures to perform a go-around, not taken in due time with the aircraft, having a significant deviation from the established approach chart, which led to the controlled flight impact with terrain at the distance of 930 m beyond the end of the active runway. |
