Seven minutes Risk Bashny.Net

Nonstop flight number 37, the message Moscow - Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, instead of more than eight hours, this time continued ... seven minutes. IL-62M with the tail number 86464 Khabarovsk airline 18 hours and 35 minutes has taken off from the Domodedovo airport. Nothing makes alarm. Heavy machine and was on the board, including the crew of 195 people and children normally gain altitude.

Gone are the mark of 120 meters. The pilot of the first class Anatoly Budnik, commanded flight engineer Oleg Kazantsev retract the flaps to 15 degrees. He took the pen and ... Tells aircraft commander A.BUDNIK:
And then we felt that the plane lurched to the right. Cotton tail section. Alarm activated. Siren! The light display! Flight Engineer reported on the third and fourth fire engines. At this point, the dispatcher service movement Ezhov came with us to communicate: "You have the right engine fire!»

Indicator lights show: two engines are burning. Where is the exit?

Says flight engineer O.KAZANTSEV:
When I heard the aircraft, and cotton jerked sharply to the right, it became clear that we had an engine failure. But to determine the instrument for the first time there was no way. Because, as subsequent events showed, all the wiring, which provides signaling of critical parameters of the engine on board, has been broken. And no signal has been received. And the engine speed and temperature - all in line with takeoff. Only on these parameters to determine the failure was impossible. The only time the fire alarm went off on the fourth and third in the first moment it was possible to notice that the scoreboard fourth power plant caught fire earlier. And this alarm is designed so that it lights up and then locked and the display then lights constantly. So, it was necessary to think.

Continuation of the story A.BUDNIKA:
After hearing the report of the flight engineer, comparing it with the message manager V.Ezhova that the right engine was burning, I decided to turn off the fourth power unit. At the same time he began to carry out the approach with the course of the reverse take-off.

The crew did not know that the two holes gaping board that the third engine nacelle was burned, but ... They were firmly convinced that the power plant continues to operate.

After hearing the decision of the commander of the landing back course, the navigator A.Frantsev suggested that the maneuver should be carried out with the left lapel. Of course, everyone wanted to quickly perform a U-turn, to quickly reach the runway. But the navigator restrain the crew: "Sooner, sooner».

The co-pilot immediately ordered A.Cherenkov system approach and later did not forget to remind controllers: "And you drive switched?»

Actively V.Evdokimov radio operator. And before boarding, he did not forget even read the reference card. This punctuality in such a critical situation surprised some experts. Although she was not at all excessive and gave the assurance that the crew are not in a hurry zapamyatuet landing gear before landing.

Meanwhile, the flight lasted, one of the emergency engine continues to run. The commander had already gained confidence, they make it to the band. But sit down with the weight of that one and a half times higher than the permissible limits? Flight engineer recalled that he composed two other crews had to make emergency landings, including one - on sick passenger. And in both cases it was possible to drain the excess oil, everything ended well. But now drain the fuel they could not.

The commander of all focused on how to land the plane as gently as possible. If only heavy machine has not collapsed from the impact of the runway! Touching. Reverse, leap to the left. But the commander was waiting for this breakthrough, because he knew that one of the reversion engines destroyed. Anatoly was able to fend off the spurt brakes, wheel rotation. And the brakes, the brakes! But if they were oiled. The aircraft continued to be carried on the runway and stopped when the end of the strip was only a hundred meters.

They reported on the landing, turned its course Srul with the band. We asked to runway glands removed those that continued to pour out of their aircraft.

They went out onto the platform, looked at his plane and ... dumbfounded. They knew that the engines have no right. But that is so!





Around the aircraft it was about people. Watched. Surprised. Congratulations. Police captain came up and handed a piece of metal, still warm to the touch:
Take it fell from your aircraft.
Where found? - I asked the flight engineer.
In the country - said the captain.
Thank you, that's a surprise!

The safety inspection, where the crew went, he was expecting a whole bunch of these "surprises". It turns out all that pour out of the airplane, the surrounding vacationers, people versed in aviation, gently picked up and carried to the airport. Perhaps useful in the investigation.
Yes, the case is unique - so then assess the incident commander of the first flight unit of the Khabarovsk airline Smirnov, who took part in the flight subcommittee to investigate the incident. - In such circumstances, with the landing weight for emergency engines ... So nobody else in Aeroflot landing is not made. And most importantly, able to determine that it was not easy, and the right to "calculate" the failed engine. And could in fact turn off the other. Clearly, they clear their professional actions saved lives.

And recently there was a meeting of the staff of flying squad. It has been decided to apply for the award-winning crew higher.

Home after this meeting we traveled together - on the bus. I asked them what this flight was the unpleasant impression. I replied that, they say, fire siren screaming too unpleasant voice. Here, they say, and so everything to the limit, and then there was this heart-rending howl.

What happened estimate? They said that among other things, to save them, of course, previous experience. The experience of the crew that died in similar conditions when they were turned off both engines on takeoff when a false alarm.

Yes, flight operations, nothing goes unnoticed. And a bitter lesson one gave life to others.
