On 5 March 2011, an Antonov An-148 passenger jet broke up in mid-air and crashed on the outskirts of Garbuzovo, a village in the Belgorod Oblast of Russia. All six crew members, the only people on board, were killed. The aircraft was on a demonstration flight prior to delivery to the Myanmar Air Force.http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/05/353959/an-148-crashes-in-russia-on-test-flight-ministry.html An-148 crashes in Russia on test flight: ministry David Kaminski-Morrow FlightGlobal 5 March 2011 6 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110308180822/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/05/353959/an-148-crashes-in-russia-on-test-flight-ministry.html 8 March 2011 dead The subsequent investigation concluded that the aircraft broke up after the crew allowed it to substantially exceed its maximum design speed during a practice emergency descent.http://avherald.com/h?article=438db1d5&opt=1 Crash: Antonov A148 near Voronezh on Mar 5th 2011, in flight break up Simon Hradecky Aviation Herald 6 March 2011
Accident
The An-148 was on a local demonstration flight from Pridacha Airport in Voronezh, Russia, where it had been built by aircraft manufacturer VASO. The aircraft was being readied for delivery to the Myanmar Air Force, two representatives of which were on board. The other four crew, all Russians, were two pilots and two engineers.http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/05/353960/crashed-an-148-was-under-test-for-myanmar-export.html Crashed An-148 was under test for Myanmar export David Kaminski-Morrow FlightGlobal 5 March 2011 6 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110315232607/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/05/353960/crashed-an-148-was-under-test-for-myanmar-export.html 15 March 2011 dead
At 10:40 Moscow time, the aircraft crashed at Garbuzovo, a small village in the Alexeevsky Region of the Belgorod Oblast, some 560 km mi south of Moscow, narrowly missing some houses.http://www.uacrussia.ru/en/press/news/index.php?id4=665 An-148-100 fatal accident United Aircraft Corporation 5 March 2011 6 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110309205832/http://www.uacrussia.ru/en/press/news/index.php?id4=665 9 March 2011 dead http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/six-killed-in-russian-test-flight-15104766.html?r=RSS Six killed in Russian test flight Belfast Telegraph 5 March 2011 6 March 2011
The wreckage was found strewn along a 3 km mi 0 mid -long track, after witnesses on the ground reported seeing parts of the airframe breaking off before impact. None of the six people on board survived.
Aircraft
The aircraft involved was a twinjet Antonov An-148-100E, c/n 41-03, carrying test registration 61708.http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20110305-0 61708 Accident description Aviation Safety Network 7 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110414091425/http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20110305-0 14 April 2011 live It was operating its 32nd flight, in preparation for delivery to the Myanmar air force. Just days before the accident, the type had been granted extended certification.
Investigation
The Russian Ministry of Industry opened an investigation into the accident.http://www.minpromtorg.gov.ru/industry/avia/149 ru:Комиссия по расследованию катастрофы самолета Ан-148 Russian Minpromptrog 5 March 2011 7 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20120321022245/http://www.minpromtorg.gov.ru/industry/avia/149 21 March 2012 dead A criminal investigation was launched by the Investigative Committee of Russia to decide whether violation of flight regulations occurred.http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/05/353961/industry-ministry-to-chair-an-148-crash-probe.html Industry ministry to chair An-148 crash probe David Kaminski-Morrow FlightGlobal 5 March 2011 6 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110314134008/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/05/353961/industry-ministry-to-chair-an-148-crash-probe.html 14 March 2011 dead The flight recorders were recovered and the entirety of the wreckage was transported to the VASO plant for further examination.http://www.itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=16016904&PageNum=0 Flight recorders from crashed An-148 plane found ITAR-TASS 5 March 2011 6 March 2011
The investigation was completed in April 2011, and concluded that the crew inadvertently permitted the aircraft to accelerate over 110 kph kn mph above its maximum design speed, or never exceed speed (VNE), during an emergency descent. The abnormal aerodynamic stress exceeded the strength of the airframe, inducing low-frequency oscillations that eventually resulted in structural failure and in-flight break-up. Contributing factors were lack of proper crew coordination in executing the emergency descent, deviations from recommended procedures and the misleading indications provided by basic flight instruments while outside normal operating conditions.https://www.kommersant.ru/doc.aspx?DocsID=1597263 ru:Ан-148 превысил скорость Kommersant Russian 9 March 2011 9 March 2011 http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/09/354143/crashed-an-148-broke-up-after-being-pushed-beyond-limits.html Crashed An-148 broke up after being pushed beyond limits David Kaminski-Morrow FlightGlobal 9 March 2011 10 March 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110315233518/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/03/09/354143/crashed-an-148-broke-up-after-being-pushed-beyond-limits.html 15 March 2011 dead
