Costa d'Avorio: precipita aereo cargo, morti quattro moldavi


Poveracci, RIP.

Dalla posizione del relitto sembrerebbero aver tentato un ammaraggio o un atterraggio di emergenza.
 
Avevo postata la notizia nel thread di Fly Valan. L'aereo era in fase di atterraggio ma, causa cattivo tempo, sono arrivati corti, finendo in mare.
 
On Oct 15th 2017 the airline reported after talking to their technician on board and surviving the accident, that the aircraft was on final approach to Abidjan arriving from Ouagadougou, both engines were working normally, when the aircraft impacted waters. It is unclear why the aircraft fell into the waters, the weather characterized by thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and heavy precipitation may have played a role. The captain (63) had accumulated more than 24,000 hours of total flying experience, 13,000 of which were on the AN-26, the first officer - youngest crew member - had accumulated 2,200 hours of flying experience. Both were killed in the accident, in addition to the flight engineer and another company technician. The black boxes were recovered, the Moldovian CAA is going to join the investigation. The aircraft had last been at the Antonov facilities in February 2017 and had been issued a certificate of airworthiness by Antonov.
