Popova and Flight Engineer S.K. Maltsev . There were a total of 161 people on board: 152 passengers and 9 crew members. At 21:37, the Tu-154 flew out of Sochi airport and headed for Orenburg. The flight to the MRP (turning point of the route) Karaulkeldy passed without deviations.
After entering the zone of Aktobe RC, the crew requested permission to follow the straightened Aktyubinsk-Orenburg route after the flyby of Aktobe . The dispatcher gave permission to follow the Karaulkeldy-Orenburg route, which is not listed in the USSR airways list. During the pre-training, numerous irregularities were committed; on the decline inside the crew, outside conversations were conducted that distracted all crew members from performing their duties.

Also, the crew violated the approach procedure, did not carry out control check cards when turning and entering the glide path , entered the glide path with retracted mechanization. On the pre-landing line, he allowed rolls of up to 23 ° and a vertical speed of 9-10 m / s. The crew did not report readiness for landing, in violation of the Civil Aviation Enterprise (Manual for Flight Operations in Civil Aviation), and the landing controller, without receiving a report on readiness for landing, gave permission to land.
Numerous errors led to a rough landing with a vertical speed of 3 m / s and a forward 265 km / h and subsequent separation from the ground after touching. Then the crew set the throttle body to the “reverse” position and after 8.5 seconds, flying 635 meters after the first touch, the plane again landed on the runway (runway) with an overload of 3.9g and a speed of 230 km / h, which led to the destruction fuselage . After a second landing, the aircraft began to deviate to the left and stepped off the side safety belt (BPB). In the process of moving along the BPB, the tail of the fuselage sank to the ground. Having traveled 647 meters from the second touch point, the Tu-154A turned 108 ° to the runway axis and stopped on the taxiway 165 meters from the runway.
As a result of a rough landing 2 crew members and 1 passenger were injured.
