Английская Википедия:Aeroflot Flight 217
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox aircraft occurrence Aeroflot Flight 217 was a non-scheduled international passenger flight from Orly Airport in Paris to Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow, with a stopover at Shosseynaya Airport (now Pulkovo Airport) in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). On 13 October 1972, the Ilyushin Il-62 airliner operating the flight crashed on approach to Sheremetyevo, with the loss of all 164 passengers and crew of 10. At the time, it was the world's deadliest civil aviation disaster, until it was surpassed by the Kano air disaster in 1973.[1] As of 2023, this remains the second-deadliest accident involving an Il-62, after LOT Flight 5055, and the second-deadliest on Russian soil, after Aeroflot Flight 3352.[2][3][4]

Crash
Shortly before the expected landing, the plane was flying at the altitude of Шаблон:Convert and received the ATC instructions to descend to Шаблон:Convert. The crew confirmed and started to descend, but later there was no action to return to the horizontal flight. The plane passed the Шаблон:Convert mark with Шаблон:Convert vertical velocity, no expected report to ATC and engines still running at low thrust. It crashed shortly afterwards, with landing gear up, spoilers retracted and horizontal speed about Шаблон:Convert.[5]
Investigation
The cause of the crash could not be determined. Investigators did believe the most probable cause was the 'psycho-physiological incapacitation of the crew for reasons unknown'.[6] Somewhere around Шаблон:Convert altitude, 30–25 seconds before impact, the pilots either have been incapacitated or lost control of the plane.[5]
