The approach was performed without significant deviations from the glide path.
In the process of skidding off at the command of the captain the flight engineer switched off the engines by means of the emergency shut down. At this point the signal of left gear strut compression was sensed. Almost simultaneously with the touchdown of the nose landing gear the crew moved the engine controls to the Maximum Reverse position at one sweep and applied mechanical brakes. At this stage the right gear strut compression signal had not yet been sensed. 2 seconds after the thrust levers were moved to the Maximum Reverse position the flight engineer reported that reversers had not been deployed.
At this point the compression on both landing gear struts happened which led to the activation of airbrakes and spoilers.
As of Sunday morning, the four survivors were hospitalized in Moscow with severe, traumatic brain injuries. Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 (SO1145/OSL1145) was a scheduled domestic passenger flight between the Nigerian cities of Abuja and Port Harcourt ().At about 14:08 local time (13:08 UTC) on 10 December 2005, Flight 1145 from Abuja crash-landed at Port Harcourt International Airport.The plane, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 with 110 people on board, slammed into the ground and burst into flames.
No serious injuries were reported from the highway.
The accident marked the second hull-loss of a Tupolev Tu-204, as well as the type's first fatal accident since its introduction in 1989.It had been snowing prior to the accident and there was a significant cross wind with gusts of up to 29 knots (54 km/h; 33 mph).The December 29 accident was the second runway overrun involving a Red Wings operated Tu-204-100B in nine days.
the pilots moved the controls to the Maximum Reverse position again. As during the first attempt, reverser deployment did not happen, both engines started to produce forward thrust again (at Nvd appx.
Approach was done in the director mode with autothrottle disabled with an average indicated airspeed of about 255 km/h and vertical speed -3 m/s ... -5 m/s. Four others were injured in the crash of the Tupolev Tu-204 airliner, officials said. Officials say the weather, pilot error and technical malfunctions could be possibilities.
About 10 seconds have passed from the moment of passing the 4 m altitude point and the touchdown. There were no passengers on board, but 5 of the 8 crew members were killed when the aircraft hit a ditch and highway structures after overrunning the runway.
0° pitch and 1° left roll. There were a lot of conjectures about the causes of the tragedy, but comprehensive information did not appear immediately, although it was very much awaited. 3 seconds after touchdown nose gear strut was compressed. The aircraft skidded off the runway 32 seconds after landing, being almost on the axis of the runway with an air speed of about 215 km/h. Flyby of the neighboring (to the runway) homing beacon was performed at an altitude of 65 ...70 m. Runway threshold was passed at the height of 15 meters at an airspeed of 260 km/h. During the landing the right side wind gusts reached up to 11.5 m/s. The increase in speed led to further unloading of the main landing gear. The plane continued to roll out of the runway, slowly decelerating due to road bumps and snow cover. After thrust levers were moved to the Maximum Reverse position an increase of forward thrust (up to 90% Nvd) was recorded on both engines. The cause of the crash is not known. An investigation was unable to determine the causes of the accident.
Deploy reversers!" Decision height was calculated to be 60 m. Landing weight of the aircraft was approximately 67.5 tons, center of gravity (CG) location at appx. The pressure in the hydraulic system of wheel brakes of the left (compressed) landing gear was up to 50 kgf/cm², whereas there were no pressure in the wheel brakes of the right (not compressed) landing gear.
After that the speed began to increase.
Before entering the glide path, the aircraft was in landing configuration with flaps deployed at 37°, slats at 23°, and the landing gear down. Initial reports indicated 12 people were aboard the plane, but authorities later revised that figure.
During preparation for landing the captain has determined the landing speed as 210 km/h, and specified that the speed of at least 230 km/h has to be maintained.
