Air Ukraine

Let L-410

The crew was performing a delivery flight from Ukraine to Honduras with several intermediate stops. On approach to Bukhta Provideniya, just after passing the outer marker, the aircraft sharply banked to the left. The left wing struck the ground and the aircraft crashed in a snow covered field some 2,100 metres short of runway threshold. All three occupants were injured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Tupolev TU-154

After takeoff from Kiev-Borispol Airport, the crew informed ATC about landing gear problems and was cleared to return. On approach, the crew realized that the left main gear got stuck in its wheel well and decided to continue the descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft fell on its left, slid for few dozen metres and came to rest on the runway. All 147 occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

PZL-Mielec AN-2

All the evening, the crew (a pilot and a flight mechanic) consumed alcohol. As they were unable to find a place to sleep in Bilovodske, they decided to return to Nedryhailiv. Four minutes following a night takeoff from Bilovodske, the pilot lost his orientation and elected to return. Shortly later, he suffered a spatial disorientation and lost control of the airplane that crashed less than 2 km east from Perekopivka (at N50°37' E33°28'), about 3 km south from Bilovodske Airstrip. Both occupants were seriously injured. The passenger died in hospital 15 days later.
