The official version of the fall of that 154. “Unless - collective insanity
Participants in the investigation of the Tu-154 crash over the Black Sea, second by second, restored the circumstances of the crash of the liner. Writes about this "Kommersant".
On the day of the crash, the Tu-154 was supposed to make two training flights to transport troops (passengers), equipment and cargo. The first flight went smoothly, but the second "didn't work out right from the start." According to experts, Tu-154 commander Roman Volkov “began to experience difficulties in determining his location” while still on the ground - while the car was moving along taxiways. Volkov allegedly “could not understand at all” from which of the two runways of the airfield he was to take off and which way was better to taxi to the beginning of this runway.
As a result, the liner took off at 5:24 with a heading of 238 °. Already at the seventh second after takeoff, in the cockpit, according to the participants in the investigation, a special situation arose: “Volkov began emotionally, using profanity, to find out from the crew exactly which course they took off.” The captain lost control over the take-off parameters himself and distracted his colleagues from work, experts say.
Then Volkov set the Tu-154 to the correct pitch of 15°, but almost immediately made the first "illogical" action, deflecting the steering wheel away from him and slowing down the climb. At the 53rd second of the flight, when the Tu-154 climbed only 157 meters, Volkov ordered the flaps to be removed, although according to the regulations this must be done at an altitude of 500 meters. At the same time, he himself continued to deflect the helm away from himself. As a result, the liner at around 231 meters went down.
The aircraft began to quickly (6-8 meters per second) lose altitude, the crew's warnings about a dangerous approach to the ground worked. However, none of the pilots paid any attention to this.
At an altitude of 67 meters, the “Left roll is high” alarm went off, and when 34 meters were left to the water, Volkov turned the steering wheel all the way to the right, trying to correct the mistake, but it was too late. At the 73rd second of the flight, the Tu-154, having touched the surface of the sea with its left wing, fell apart and sank. At the time of the collision, the left bank was about 50 °, and the indicated speed was 540 kilometers per hour.
According to experts, the disaster was accompanied by fatigue and poor professional training of the crew. Captain Volkov lost his orientation in space, having fallen into the power of the so-called somatogravitational illusions. The vestibular apparatus "told" him that the plane was climbing too fast, and the pilot began to lower the nose of the plane.
Tu-154 flying from Sochi to Syria, crashed over the Black Sea on 25 December 2016. There were 92 people on board, all of them died. Among the victims of the crash were the artists of the Alexandrov Ensemble and Elizaveta Glinka (Doctor Lisa).
At the end of May, the Ministry of Defense announced part of the results of the investigation into the Tu-154 crash. The commission rejected versions with low-quality fuel, overload and the impact of external factors. According to the military department, the disaster most likely occurred due to a violation of the spatial orientation of the commander.
The media again returned to the death of the Tu-154 near Sochi, the military aircraft in which the Alexandrov Ensemble died - as they say, the cultural symbol of the Russian army, and Elizabeth Glinka- Dr. Lisa, Mother Teresa of our Northern Spaces. And several more teams of journalists died, a total of 92 people.
The Tu-154 flew from Moscow, from the Chkalovsky military airfield to Syria, to Damascus to raise the morale of the personnel of the Russian Aerospace Forces at the Khmeimim air base on the eve of the New Year.
The flight was like a flight, the crew under the command of the pilot Volkova I have flown this route many times. At the Chkalovsky military airfield, near Moscow, it is known that this is a military airfield, the mouse, it would seem, will not slip through, everyone boarded. The plane flew to Damascus over the Caspian Sea, then had to refuel in Mozdok, fly over Iran, Iraq and through all of Syria to Damascus.
But this time Mozdok was closed and the board flew to refuel in Adler over the Caucasus, from the Caspian to the Black Sea. For an airplane, it’s like for a car to go to refuel at the nearest gas station, well, let’s refuel at another, by the standards of air transport, it’s within easy reach.
In Adler, the plane refueled, and supposedly no one got off and boarded the plane in Adler. They took off, and after a couple of minutes they disappeared from the radar. And then they found the wreckage of the Tu-154 in the Black Sea.
The newspapers wrote about all this in detail immediately after December 25. And about Tu already seems to be forgotten. And suddenly, just before the murder in Kyiv Voronenkov, and before the bulk riots in Moscow, suddenly again, look, a new portion of supposedly information about the death of the Tu-154.
More precisely, this is not new information, but an interpretation of some of the information that we already had.
Apparently, somewhere in the high spheres of management of our mental health, they decided that the version of the pilot's error, which we have been carefully sticking out all these months, looks unconvincing and now they add interpretations.
I remembered the main claims to the pilots.
They (in fact, we are talking about one, the main pilot - the flight commander Volkov) are accused of things hitherto unheard of in the investigation of the death of aircraft, namely:
- loss of orientation in space;
- in the illusory perception of reality;
The flight was at night and therefore difficult.
Say, the commander of the Volkov ship (now they began to say that the 4 thousand hours he had flown were not enough to call him an experienced pilot, and earlier they said that Volkov was experienced), took the stars reflected in the sea for the stars in the sky and behaved accordingly, began to decline, instead of taking off.
Against such defamation of their dead comrade, fellow pilots were indignant. Some significant part of them.
They said that night flying is a common thing and half of the flights are night, nothing extraordinary.
That in a night flight the commander of the ship “looks only at the instruments”, because what kind of stars are there! That the Tu-154 has a large flight team, that several crew members continuously report to the commander both the altitude and everything that is needed.
True, among fellow pilots there were those who actually blamed the pilot for the death of Tu, one “comrade” said so, I already quoted him that 4 thousand flown flights are not enough, he romantically said that “only after 10 thousand flown flights the pilot begins to feel bird."
Returning to the wording given in the media, in particular, to these “loss of orientation in space” and to “illusory perception of reality”, I said to myself: let me, but these are symptoms of what happens to a pilot during an electronic attack.
The version of an electronic attack was once dismissed by the investigation.
But she was. And supporters of this version referred to interesting data.
On the eve of the tragedy, it turns out that the French reconnaissance ship Dupuy de Lome entered the Black Sea, which can cut down all the electronics of the aircraft with a radio pulse.
The authors of the version claimed that an electronic attack on the Tu-154 could have been launched from this ship. Russia also has means of electronic jamming, the supporters of the version claimed, they say, nothing fantastic, but the aircraft was military, so those who carried out the attack might not feel like bloodsuckers and murderers.
The status of the flight was the highest that exists (a military ensemble, even a conductor, a lieutenant general, a flight to Syria, and similar international political importance).
The nature of the wreckage and the nature of the injuries inflicted on the bodies (divers claimed that they were finely-finely chopped into gruel), as well as the scattering of debris over a long distance, indicate an explosion on board. If the plane had broken into the water, the wreckage would have been large. And the bodies would not have been finely chopped.
And finally, even the fact that in the morning all civilian ships were forbidden to go to sea in that area, and another fact: the National Guard was posted at the coastline, they say that they are hiding from us the true cause of Tu's death.
And now the second portion of misinformation. Apparently, they decided at the top that you and I may still have doubts about the veracity of the accusations of the pilots in everything.
Therefore, they are additionally blamed on them. A well-known technique in the criminal world - murders are always hung on dead comrades.
Now about the airfield in Chkalovsky.
Pilot Krasnoperov: “I flew from Chkalovsky to the east. And there was no inspection, with security much worse than in civil airports».
Writer Limonov: “And I flew from Chkalovsky ... There was no inspection, they didn’t look at passports, they didn’t check luggage. Well, I’m a well-known person, but there were three guards with me, and they didn’t demand their passports, nor did they check their luggage. ”
The version of the explosion was voiced by the federal media, referring to the data of the European satellite Sentinel-1B, which at the time of the tragedy was flying over the Black Sea. It was he who recorded that the plane fell into the water after the explosion.
Based on data transmitted by the European satellite Sentinel-1B, the Russian plane taking off from Adler was shot down as a result of sabotage, according to the Novosti dniy portal.
According to this version, the Tu-154 crew, being six kilometers from the coast, planned to return to the runway. But in a matter of seconds, the fate of all the passengers of the liner was doomed. First, the stabilizer was torn off by the roots, then the nacelle flew off the chassis, after which the flap that got into the engine broke the turbine.
Experts believe that with a high degree of probability, there was a sabotage using miniature external magnetic explosive devices attached to the airliner at the airport. The explosion happened on the outer side of the hull and had a strictly directed effect. The crew and passengers were doomed.
It becomes clear why, immediately after the tragedy, a decision was made to "disband the air base in Chkalovsky", from where the Tu-154 set off on its last flight.
The well-known economist and political scientist Mikhail Delyagin commented on the new information: “This version finally describes in detail the course of the accident, and most importantly, explains the huge one - more than three kilometers! - scatter of aircraft wreckage, cynically hushed up by official sources.
It remains to clarify the necessary details and find out the organizer of this sabotage - although the hysterical jubilation of a number of prominent liberals, I think, testifies to this with exhaustive persuasiveness.
Externally attached miniature external magnetic explosive devices caused fatal damage. These sensors, installed on the ground, worked. Perhaps that is why the blast wave scattered the fragments of the liner over a radius of more than three kilometers in the Black Sea.
According to the portal, this version is the place to be, because it was not without reason that literally immediately after the tragedy it was decided to disband the airbase in Chkalovsky, from where the Tu-154 flew to Syria.
Recall that on December 25, Tu-154 crashed in the sky over Sochi. He was on his way to Syria. 92 people died, including Alexander Serov, a native of the Ulyanovsk region.
residents Krasnoyarsk Territory four died on that flight (according to other sources, five) - three dancers from the ensemble, one military man and a flight engineer.
I was having trouble posting an article called "Mysterious Mechanical Impact" here, one of the sites I've been collaborating with recently refused to publish. In the end, on the morning of December 31, the article was sheltered by the freest press in the Russian Federation. Thank them. It's all about who you (I, you, he, she, they) serve: the people or the government.
I serve the people, so the site that serves the authorities could not take the material containing suspicions about the death of TU - 154.
Here are some more wonderful arguments on the topic of the death of the TU-154, from my friend, a military expert, I received them an hour ago:
“The collapse of the aircraft in the air is obvious when the scatter of the remains of the aircraft within a radius of more than a kilometer from a height of less than 600 meters.
When an entire aircraft hits the water, the parts of the aircraft "spread out" by more than three aircraft size, it's 120 meters, impossible.
Remember, a bullet, for example, from an Austrian Glock-17 pistol flies under water no more than 5 meters, at a departure speed of about 350 meters per second (I have personal experience). The plane was falling at a speed of no more than 150 meters per second ... but parts of the plane are not a small bullet from a pistol! Therefore, the expansion-spread of parts of the aircraft under water at 120 meters is already "beyond", which means that the parts of the aircraft fell into the water, separating already in the air.
They were divided from "external mechanical influence". The aircraft has, as a rule, a 5-fold margin of safety even for vibration. You have flown on airplanes and you know that airplanes easily pass through turbulence zones when carrying passengers, although the plane shakes a lot, and nothing.
Now imagine that the plane at a speed of no more than 360 kilometers per hour (100 meters per second) fell apart. From the fall, parts of the aircraft could still increase the speed of the fall to 150 meters per second, but to "swim" in the water and under water at a depth of 60 meters for another kilometer, this is impossible in any way. So the collapse of the aircraft in the air from "mechanical impact" ...
I think that it will be almost impossible to "recognize" directly some mechanical external influence as an electronically provoked explosion due to political consequences. The aircraft of the Ministry of Defense ... that means there was a trivial betrayal on earth, direct betrayal or sloppiness ..., I am very sad to write about this, but it doesn’t add up in any other way - it’s just strength of materials (resistance of materials) according to which I always had " 5"...
But it seems that the investigation will be covered up [...........]
I’m afraid that they won’t say anything about electronic weapons either, they’ll blame it on some flaps, pilot errors, a flock of birds (from which three engines flew apart, the birds were the size of a whale), bad aviation kerosene, strong undercurrent, and so on.
For none of these reasons, the plane will fall apart within a kilometer radius. By the way, please note that recently the Russian Federation has been very proud and advertised its electronic warfare (electronic warfare) means, so they could have received an asymmetric answer.
Now there are already portable electronic warfare that suppress everything within a radius of several meters. Everything is phones, WI-FI, satellite navigation and even TV channel switches. It weighs 150 grams.
And imagine, from a NATO ship, the power of the EW pulse is enough to simply burn all the electronics of the aircraft, it is possible to burn it from the inside, which will lead to an instant unpredictable overload in the aircraft’s systems, and its possible disintegration.
It can also be imagined from an apparatus weighing 5 kilograms, which could be "put" on board before the flight.
I hope I'm wrong, but we'll see, they promised to give an analysis of the accident soon.
How the Tu-154 fell
The Tu-154 aircraft of the Ministry of Defense took off after refueling in Sochi towards Syria at 5:25 am on December 25 and disappeared from the radar screens at 5:27 am. The last flight of the Tu-154 lasted 70 seconds: the plane climbed to a height of 250 meters at a speed of 360-370 kilometers per hour. Upon hitting the water and the bottom of the Black Sea, the liner completely collapsed.
On board there was an "abnormal work of equipment", the Minister of Transport Maxim Sokolov. Tu-154 commander Roman Volkov reported the incident to the dispatchers, follows from the decoding of the onboard voice recorder. One phrase from the conversation of the pilots points to the “development of a special situation” on board, which lasted about 10 seconds, said Sergey Baynetov, head of the aviation safety service of the Russian Armed Forces.
Information from the parametric black box, which experts decipher, does not yet confirm that aircraft equipment failure has occurred. “According to a preliminary assessment of the parametric information, there are no obvious failures,” a Defense Ministry spokesman said. He noted that not all Tu-154 instruments had yet been lifted from the bottom of the Black Sea.
During an emergency situation, “Flaps, bitch, why *****,” Life wrote on December 27. Defense Ministry spokesman Sergei Baynetov declined to comment: "I can't tell you about the flaps and other things we've heard."
Before the crash, the Tu-154 tried to maneuver to the right and flew with its nose up, “it was dangling from side to side” and it fell into the water with a left bank at a speed of about 510 kilometers per hour, TASS wrote on December 27, citing sources. However, officially the Ministry of Defense reported that it was “premature” to say what the angle was at the time of the collision.
Versions of the crash of the Tu-154
After the crash of the plane of the Ministry of Defense, the participants in the investigation considered 15 versions of the crash, but after decoding the first black box, 7 versions remained. There is no priority among them. Experts consider four "standard" versions of the crash:
- human factor
- equipment failure
- wind shear
- bird strike
Also considering the version of the attack. “A terrorist attack is not necessarily an explosion, it could also be a mechanical impact. This version is also being considered by the commission, ”said the representative of the Ministry of Defense. He noted that during the refueling in Sochi, only employees of the border service of the Russian FSB boarded the plane.
No other versions of the crash have been reported. In the FSB on December 26: foreign objects getting into the engine, low-quality fuel, piloting error, technical malfunction of the aircraft.
The plane could have crashed due to equipment failure and pilot error, this is indicated by the decoding of the main (parametric) black box, an anonymous source told Interfax on December 28.
The Minister of Transport of Russia urged journalists not to distribute unofficial versions crash before the final work of the commission investigating.
Burials have begun
No survivors were found at the crash site of the Tu-154. According to official information, rescuers found 19 corpses and several hundred body fragments.
On December 28, at the federal military memorial cemetery in Mytishchi, the first person who died in a plane crash. Many victims of the plane crash will be buried after the completion of genetic examinations. The necessary materials were taken from all the relatives of the victims.
The head of the Fair Aid Foundation, Elizaveta Glinka (Doctor Lisa), who was on board the plane, may be buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow. City officials making such a request. The Presidential Council for Human Rights wants to hold an evening in memory of Dr. Lisa on the 40th day after her death.
Published on 01/10/17 10:23The latest news about the crashed Tu-154 plane in Sochi: experts told why on December 25 last year a defense ministry plane crashed over the Black Sea.
The reason for the plane crash in Sochi, the latest news: why the Tu-154 crashed over the Black Sea, experts from the Ministry of Defense said
Based on the results of a complete decoding of the parametric and voice flight recorders of the Tu-154 aircraft, in December 2017, experts from the Ministry of Defense spoke about the causes of the crash. According to experts, a combination of several factors ruined the airliner with passengers: the board went to Syria overloaded, and co-pilot Alexander Rovensky mixed up the landing gear and flaps control levers on takeoff, and when intcbatch the crew noticed the mistake, it was already too late: the heavy Tu-154 did not have enough height for a rescue maneuver, and it was the tail section of the fuselage, after which it collapsed.
A Life source familiar with the investigation said that the human factor was recognized as the priority version of the crash.
"Studied by the experts of the Research Center for the Operation and Repair of Aircraft of the Ministry of Defense in Lyubertsy, the data of speech and parametric (fixing the work of all aircraft units) recorders say that in the third minute of the flight, when the liner was at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, the sensors of the directional stability system worked The car began to lose altitude dramatically due to ", - the source quotes the publication.
Experts say that this happened after the co-pilot, 33-year-old captain Alexander Rovensky, removed the flaps instead of the landing gear.
“From this, the plane went into an outrageous angle of attack, the crew tried to turn the car around to reach the ground, but they didn’t have time to do this,” the source emphasized.
The situation was aggravated by the overload of the Tu-154, due to which the tail section of the aircraft was pulled down.
The source claims that emergency situation came as a complete surprise to the crew: the commander of the airliner, 35-year-old Major Roman Volkov, and co-pilot Alexander Rovensky were confused in the first seconds, but then pulled themselves together and tried to save the plane until the last seconds.
The pilots who flew the Tu-154, with whom the journalists managed to talk, confirmed the conclusions of experts from the Ministry of Defense that pilot error could be the cause of the disaster.
The commander of the ship Volkov Roman Alexandrovich and the assistant commander of the ship Captain Rovensky Alexander Sergeevich
"At Tupolev, the landing gear and flaps retract handles are made on the canopy of the cockpit, between them, above the windshield. You can confuse them, especially if the co-pilot, sitting on the right, whose duties include controlling the flaps and landing gear during takeoff, is tired. From After that, the aircraft went into an extreme angle of attack, hit the water, and its tail section fell off," said Viktor Sazhenin, Honored Pilot of the Russian Federation.
This version is considered acceptable by the test pilot Hero of Russia Magomed Tolboev.
"On the control panel of the Tu-154, the flaps and landing gear toggle switches are located above the windshield. The flaps are on the left, the landing gear is on the right. The co-pilot, who sits in the seat on the right, is responsible for them. It is possible that the pilot could mix up the levers or be distracted by something , so the plane took off with the landing gear extended and the flaps retracted," he said, noting that the version that after takeoff the crew exceeded the speed limit, which led to the destruction of the flap mechanism, cannot be ruled out.
Another factor in the crash of the Tu-154 in Sochi could be the lack of sufficient knowledge on the part of the ship's commander and co-pilot regarding actions in an emergency situation.
“Most likely, neither the commander of the aircraft, Roman Volkov, nor the co-pilot Alexander Rovensky, who graduated from military schools in the early 2000s, underwent special flight training,” explained a representative of the commission investigating the crash in Sochi.
He stated that if the pilots had received special training for piloting in extreme situations at the Lipetsk Aviation Center for the Retraining of Military Pilots or at the Gromov Flight Research Institute, then perhaps the disaster could have been avoided.
“In the military schools that the pilots graduated from, they were hardly taught how, in case of failure of the flaps at low altitudes, set them to reverse release in order to bring the liner out of the prohibitive angle of attack,” he said.
In turn, the engineers of the Scientific Research Center for the Operation and Repair of Aircraft of the Ministry of Defense in Lyubertsy do not exclude that when the crew tried to turn the car around to reach the ground, the board could have been saved if not for the overload.
“Overload is evidenced by the fact that when the plane began to lose altitude, it was the tail section that hit the water first, which fell off, and then the car’s right wing caught the water and crashed into the sea,” a source in the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation explained.
At the same time, according to him, it cannot be ruled out that the luggage compartment was simply overloaded.
“After all, this was almost the last flight of a civilian aircraft to Syria, and relatives and colleagues of the military on a business trip could beg the airfield management and the crew to take on board too much. And during the flight and after landing in Sochi, the cargo could shake. During takeoff from Sochi, the cargo moved to the tail section of the liner, and the car was pulled down in an emergency situation with flaps," the expert noted.
As he wrote, the aircraft of the Russian defense department Tu-154 B-2 with tail number RA-85572 crashed in the Black Sea on December 25, 2016. There were 92 people on board. They all died.
