Biography
In 1981 he graduated from the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots, after which he was sent to serve in the Far East , in the village of Kalinka, Khabarovsk Territory , where he went from a pilot to deputy regiment commander in flight training [5] . He flew on a MiG-23 airplane.
In August 1994, of his own free will, arrived to serve in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus . September 11, 1994 took an oath of allegiance to the people of Belarus. He was appointed head of the air-fire and tactical training of 61 air bases.
Holocaust
On May 23, 1996, Lieutenant Colonel Karvat carried out a training flight in exercise 314 “Combat training course for fighter aircraft” on a Su-27 aircraft, which included flying in clouds with large roll angles with practicing tactical techniques of air combat in clouds at low altitudes in adverse weather conditions at night.
At 22 hours 44 minutes 31 seconds, his fighter with tail number 29 took off. At 22:52, when the plane was at an altitude of 900 meters and flying at a speed of 540 km / h, a warning sign about pressure drop in the first hydraulic system lit up in the cockpit [6] . Karvat immediately got in touch with the land and received orders to interrupt the mission and return to base. After 29 seconds, the failure message in the first hydraulic system suddenly disappeared, but after a few seconds, messages about other failures appeared. [6] At an altitude of 600 meters at a speed of 440 km / h, the control system failed. The pilot got in touch with the ground and received a command to leave the plane, but Vladimir saw that there were residential buildings at the fall rate and did not catapult, trying to take the plane to the side until the last [5] [7] . At 22:54, 14 seconds after the report on the failure of the control system, the plane fell flat on the ground with a vertical speed of about 30 m / s and a low forward speed near the village of Maloye Gatishche. [7] Witnesses of the disaster were many locals who rushed to the burning wreckage of the aircraft to help the pilot; after 20 minutes, firefighters arrived from the settlement Gorodishche. It was possible to bring down the flame, not allowing the cockpit to ignite, but the pilot died when the plane crashed.
The cause of the disaster was a fire in the compartment of the left tail fairing, which before this incident was considered fireproof, and, accordingly, was not equipped with fire warning sensors. Due to a leak in the hydraulic system, the vapor of the working fluid came into contact with the hot air intake pipe from the seventh stage of the engine compressor, which led to their ignition; the fire first damaged the wires of the alarm system, and then the electrical remote control system, which led to a complete loss of controllability [7] [8] .
