Category: Accident
An Ilyushin Il-14 aircraft was grounded due to deteriorating visibility and snow conditions approaching Tashkent-Yuzhny Airport. The aircraft was cleared for approach despite visibility being below minimums and cloud cover being at 150m. The pilot reported visual contact with the runway but initiated a go-around from a height of 10-15 meters. Upon reaching 100-150m altitude, the aircraft sharply turned to the right and collided with the ground on a snow-covered field, resulting in a stall.An Ilyushin Il-14 aircraft was grounded due to deteriorating visibility and snow conditions approaching Tashkent-Yuzhny Airport.

Description
The Ilyushin Il-14 was approaching Tashkent-Yuzhny Airport in poor visibility conditions (1000 m) due to snowfall. The aircraft was cleared for the approach despite the fact that the weather was below airport minima (2000 m visibility, cloud cover at 150 m). The captain radioed that he had visual contact with the runway, but a go around was performed from a height of 10-15 meters. At an altitude of 100-150 m the plane turned sharply to the right and collided with the ground on a snow-covered field. It appeared the aircraft had stalled.
Primary Cause
Weather conditions ? low visibility and snow ? combined with the aircraft’s altitude and approach procedure, leading to a stall.Weather conditions ? low visibility and snow ? combined with the aircraft’s altitude and approach procedure, leading to a stall.Share on:
