22:16 FZ981 commences descent from FL360
22:42 FZ981 aborts first approach at 1725 ft, 6.7 km short of the runway
23:20 SU1166 SSJ-100 (a Sukhoi Superjet 100-95B from Moscow-Sheremetyevo "Aeroflot-Russian Airlines") decided to proceed towards Krasnodar alternate airport.
00:40 FZ981 aborts second approach at 1550 ft, 5.6 km short of the runway
00:41 FZ981 impacts airport terrain after a steep descent from 3975 feet
Flightradar24 shows the aircraft descending to an altitude of 1550 feet when it began to climb again at 3 NM (5,6 km) short of the runway. It reached about 3975 feet until the airplane entered a steep descent before impacting airport terrain.
No distress message was stated by the crew.
The crash appears to have been caused by gale-force winds, poor visibility due to fog and torrential rain, and possible pilot error.
My personal supposition: The plane was not on fire, just with all onboard lights on as usually during landing. It happened due to Bad weather conditions plus B737 Auto Flight System particularities sometimes difficult to manage with during go-around procedure.
It looks identically to Kazan B737 crash.
Let's wait for official investigation result.
