The aircraft related to the An-24 type is outdated and not modernized, so their use is inappropriate. About this declare “Izvestia” honored the Russian pilot, the pilot tested Vadim Bazykin.
Bazykin called the model of An-24 Series ideals, but clarified that ships could not be exploited now because they were not updated for a long time.
It is better to ban, for me, flights on such an old technique, if we cannot bring it into the mind. We were constantly taking risks with passengers, Mr. Balazykin said.
According to him, the flight of the An-24 plane crash took place in a complex landscape and the airport in Tynda is located in a mountainous area. In addition, the situation is very complicated by the presence of a Taiga, the pilot experimented.
He declared the presence of small websites, “In which only one helicopter or, in extremist cases, An-2 aircraft can land.” Such websites are not suitable for An-24. Therefore, landing outside the airport is always risky and can lead to disasters, Bazykin noted.
Today, there is a report that the connection with the An-24 aircraft, flying by the Khabarovsk-Blagovesk-Gynda flight, disappeared after the second round in the landing. The aircraft belongs to the Angara aircraft carrier. Interfax later said that the debris of the lost An-24 aircraft was found 15 km from Tynda. There are 43 people on board, including 5 children and 6 crew members.
