Incident Overview
A landing accident occurred while an aircraft was approaching Voronezh under night and marginal weather conditions. The flight crew was informed of clouds at 80 meters above ground and horizontal visibility of 1,280 meters, which was below the minimum required visibility of 1,500 meters. Despite the weather being below minima, air traffic control cleared the crew to continue the descent.
Sequence of Events
After reaching an altitude of 100 meters on the descent, the crew received clearance to land. At that point, the aircraft descended below the glide path. It subsequently touched down 300 meters behind the inner marker, bounced, and then crashed into trees 150 meters further on. The aircraft was destroyed, but there were no casualties.
Probable Cause
Approach completed below minima weather conditions.
