Safety history

May 21, 1986AccidentHull loss
Following an uneventful flight from Chelyabinsk to Moscow in relative good weather conditions, the crew started the descent to Moscow-Domodedovo when the weather conditions worsened. While descending to an altitude of 3,600 meters, the aircraft entered an area of heavy rain falls and icing (a cold front was passing over Moscow at that time).
Ту-154Б-2
It was determined that the crew failed to prepare the light properly at Chelyabinsk Airport and failed to follow the pre-takeoff checklist. Doing so, the crew forgot to activate the Pitot heating system. While descending to Moscow, the Pitot tube became obstructed by ice because they were not heated. Full accident record
