Katekavia Flight 9357 was a domestic flight operating from Krasnoyarsk to Igarka in Russia that crashed in the early hours of 3 August 2010, killing twelve out of the fifteen people on board the aircraft.
Accident
The aircraft crashed while on final approach for a landing at Igarka Airport,[4] around 700 metres (2,300 ft) short of the runway.[1] Conditions at the time of the crash were reported to be raining, with light clouds and thunderstorms in the area. The crash occurred at around 01:40 local time (17:40 UTC, 2 August).[5] A government agency, the Federal Air Transport Agency, said that "the plane veered to the right of its landing course and collided with the ground in front of the runway."[6]
Casualties
Ten of the passengers and one crew member on board the plane died in the crash,[7] while three of the crew members and one passenger survived, the passenger later died at the hospital of sustained injuries on 3 August 2010, bringing the death toll to twelve.[1][2][6][8] The other three survivors sustained only minor injuries.[9] The three survivors were the pilot, the co-pilot, and the flight engineer.[2] Originally, all on board were said to have died; subsequent reports said seven people died before a death toll of eleven and later twelve was established.[2][10]
Aftermath
File:Окончательный отчет Ан-24РВ RA-46524.pdf Soon after the crash, a fire at the site was extinguished, allowing for a search for the aircraft's black boxes. An investigation was also begun shortly after the incident.[6] Both the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and the flight data recorder (FDR) were recovered, although the CVR contained only data from the first 80 minutes of the 90-minute flight. The FDR contained a complete record of the flight, however.[11]
A preliminary investigation indicated that the crash occurred due to fog in the area, leading the plane to hit trees ahead of the runway.[1][12]
As a result of the crash, a government investigation to the operating practices of Katekavia was begun.[1]
The final report into the accident was released in October 2010, concluding that pilot error was the cause. The pilots failed to perform a go-around when they did not have visual contact with the airfield at the decision height. The MAK commented that had the recommendations following the crash of UTair Flight 471 been implemented, the accident may have been prevented. A total of 19 safety recommendations were made.[5]
