Emergency Landing at Krasnoyarsk-Severny After Right Main Gear Failure (CCCP-47732)

Incident Overview and Initial Response At 1858 local time, a technical issue occurred on the right main gear during the takeoff roll. The captain elected to continue the takeoff, but after rotation and during the initial climb, the landing gear could not be raised. The crew notified air traffic control of the situation and conducted several circuits over the region to burn fuel. ## Emergency Landing and Aftermath More than an hour later, the crew returned to Krasnoyarsk-Severny Airport and executed an emergency landing in a grassy area located 100 meters to the right of the main runway. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 205 km/h. After traveling approximately 70 meters, the right main gear collapsed, and the aircraft rolled for a few dozen meters before coming to rest in flames. ## Casualties and Investigation Findings All 53 occupants escaped the cabin, but three passengers were seriously injured by fire. Two of the survivors later died from their injuries two and three days after the incident. The official investigation determined that the probable cause was the failure of the right main gear due to fatigue cracks in the main cylinder.
