Category: Accident
A Tupolev Tu-124V aircraft experienced a sudden and uncontrolled descent during a flight from Kazan to Simferopol, resulting in a significant loss of altitude and a dramatic roll. The aircraft entered dark clouds, descended rapidly, and ultimately impacted at a lower altitude, leading to a passenger fatality. The incident involved a complex sequence of events culminating in a rapid descent.A Tupolev Tu-124V aircraft experienced a sudden and uncontrolled descent during a flight from Kazan to Simferopol, resulting in a significant loss of altitude and a dramatic roll.

Description
The Tupolev Tu-124V operated on a passenger service from Kazan to Simferopol with an intermediate stop at Kharkov. During the second leg of the flight, the aircraft climbed to the cruising altitude of 7200 meters. Unexpectedly the aircraft entered dark clouds and the aircraft rolled of 60-70ø while entered a high speed descent. The aircraft plummeted down at high speed and the flight crew regained control at an altitude of 2800 meters. The descent took a total of just ten seconds. After some time the plane reached Simferopol and made a normal landing. As a result of the incident, one of the passengers died. A number of passengers and crew members suffered various injuries during the maneuvers of the aircraft during the descent.
