Engine failure and landing gear collapse at Moscow airports

No fatalities • Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Russia • Landing (descent or approach)

An aircraft experienced total engine power loss during its approach to Moscow-Vnukovo, leading to a diversion and subsequent gear collapse during landing at Sheremetievo.

What happened

During an approach to Moscow-Vnukovo airport, the aircraft experienced a simultaneous loss of power in both engines. Following this dual engine failure, the crew initiated an emergency diversion to Sheremetievo Airport.

Upon attempting to land at the diversion site, the aircraft's undercarriage collapsed. This mechanical failure caused the plane to veer off the runway and slide into an adjacent grassy area. The aircraft eventually came to a complete stop in the field.

Findings

  • There were 0 fatalities and 0 injuries reported following the incident.
  • The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
  • The primary sequence of events was driven by the loss of power on both engines during the initial approach phase.

Probable cause

The loss of power in both engines during the approach to Vnukovo necessitated a diversion that resulted in a landing gear collapse.
