On approach, the crew did not follow the landing pattern and gave false information to the controller, stating that they were following the controller's orders. As a result, the aircraft was at an altitude of 3,000 meters when it was 19 kilometers from the runway. The crew reported that it was at an altitude of 2,100 meters, 23 kilometers from the runway. Unaware of the actual situation, the controller allowed them to descend to 1,500 meters, after which the pilot brought the aircraft into a steep descent at a vertical speed of 20 m/s, while airspeed increased up to 450 km / h. At 2,400 meters, 18 kilometers from the runway, the pilots reported that they were at 1,500 meters and were making an approach. In response, the controller cleared them to descend to 600 meters in the third turn, so the crew turned 29° to the right, then left, entering a 252° landing course. Following a wrong approach configuration, the crew passed over the runway threshold at a height of 30 meters and an excessive speed of 350 km/h. Rather than initiating a go-around procedure, the pilot-in-command continued and the aircraft landed 710 meters past the runway threshold. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran at a speed of 225 km/h, lost its undercarriage then slid for about 317 meters and eventually collided with concrete blocks (2 meters high), bursting into flames. 29 passengers were injured while 34 other occupants were killed, among them all four crew members.https://www.baaa-acro.com/crash/crash-antonov-24rv-navoi-34-killed References Category:1991 in Uzbekistan Category:Aviation accidents and incidents involving the Antonov An-24 Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in 1991 Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in Uzbekistan Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in the Soviet Union Category:Aviation accidents and incidents involving runway overruns
