Aircraft

The aircraft had been in service since 1964, and had sustained 7,501 cycles (takeoffs and landings) at the time of the crash.[3]

Passengers and crew

The flight was led by Captain Nikolai Danilov, with 4 other pilots and two flight attendants. There were 102 passengers on board.[3]

Accident

The aircraft's number four engine caught fire two minutes after takeoff due to a faulty compressor disk. The crew elected to return to the airport. Upon extending the flaps for landing, an asymmetrical flap condition occurred, causing the aircraft to dive sharply about two and a half kilometers from the runway.[2][4]

Strong vibrations in the number four engine had been reported on the flight before the crash.[5]
