Kyrgyzstan Air Company crash in Osh

A Tupolev 134 passenger jet sustained substantial damage in a landing accident at Osh Airport (OSS), Kyrgyzstan.
The airplane reportedly landed hard in dense fog. AKI Press reports that the airplane rolled over, causing the right wing to separate. A fire erupted, but this was quickly contained by airport fire services.
At least seven people were injured.

Looking at the pictures, Metar and believing that TU-134 is Cat II, obsolete Nav Aids at UOFA (NBD), that must have been a below minima attempt to land ?

The published minima (ILS RWY 12) is 550mtr/200ft with full lighting available. There is no CAT II at Osh...

Accident: Altyn T134 at Osh on Dec 28th 2011, hard landing, gear collapse and plane rolled on back


By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Dec 28th 2011 13:54Z, last updated Wednesday, Dec 28th 2011 14:36Z

An Altyn Air (alias Kyrgyzstan Altyn) Tupolev TU-134A, registration EX-020 performing flight QH-3 from Bishkek to Osh (Kyrgyzstan) with 73 passengers and 6 crew, suffered a hard landing resulting in the right main gear collapse, right main wing separation and the airplane rolling on its back while landing on Osh's runway 12 in fog and low visibility around 12:15L (06:15Z), official times of landing varying from 12:05L to 12:48L. The aircraft came to a stop on soft ground about 10 meters off the right runway edge. A fire fed by a fuel leak off the left wing erupted which was quickly extinguished by airport emergency services. One passenger received serious injuries, 24 people received minor injuries (concussions, bruises), 16 of which were taken to local hospitals.

Osh Airport offers a runway 12/30 of 2614 meters/8600 feet length, runway 12 features an ILS approach (DH 70 meters/230 feet, minimum visibility 900 meters/2950 feet for Category C Aircraft).

NOTAM for OSH:

A0014/11

RWY 12/30 EXTENDED 200M FROM THR RWY 12.
RWY 12 THR MARKED AT DIST 200M FROM NEW RWY EXTREMITY.
THERE IS A TURNING PAD FOR ACFT ON DISPLACED THR.
RWY 12/30 LENGTH IS 2814M.
RWY 12: DIST 2814M FROM RWY EXTREMITY AVBL FOR TKOF.
DIST 2614M FROM THR AVBL FOR LDG.
RWY 12: TORA 2714M, TODA 2814M, ASDA 2714M, LDA 2614M.
CWY 250M, WID 150M.
RWY 30: DIST 2814 AVBL FOR TKOF AND LDG.

Thats also the numbers Jeppesen carries. 60M equals to 200ft.

Don´t know where your number origin?

So if your time (around 1200-1230LT/0600-0630z) is correct, the numbers are okay for a CAT I approach.

Quite similar to Tu 134 crash at Samara in March 2007 except fatalities.

Don't need an investigation, the two experts on here already know the causes so do not waste your time thinking about it. Being a PC12 pilot gives you accident investigation qualifications.

Tough old birds, but I guess they had to be the way they were / (are) operated

I don't jump into any conclusion. Only point out circumstances are similar.
I'm very disappointed you can evaluate somebody's qualification solely looking at post.

Perhaps opinions are being confused for anger at fellow professionals who, as it would appear on the surface, conducting an approach and landing in rather low weather conditions.

Perhaps the Tower provided RVR values equal to or greater than that shown on the METARs at the time just before to after the accident. And there’s the green light to continue beyond the marker.

We can all agree, on the surface, it does appear that the same ingredients were present at this accident too.

However, let’s wait until the interviews and reports are complete before folks try to take up the role of judge and jury and Aviation Accident Investigation Board. At the end of the day will it be necessary to stand in judgment. The crew involved who survived the accident will have and continue to judge themselves, and have to live with the events for the rest of their lives.

The good news is that the passengers who survived will probably travel by train or bus from now on.

Several DC10s and a couple of MD11s also had similar accidents with a wing coming off on a hard landing. China Airlines had one in Hong Kong with nobody(?) killed.
