The Interregional Public Organization of Pilots and Citizens Owning Aircraft published on its website a list of the Robinson R66 helicopter on board the crashed in the Republic of Altai.
It has a pilot Dmitry Rakitsky, his wife Elena Rakitskaya, businessman and former deputy prime minister of the republic Anatoly Bannykh, Maria Kozintseva and Gleb Vorevodin.
According to Gazeta.Ru, experts investigating the Robinson R-66 crash on Teletskoye Lake in the Altai Republic are inclined to believe that the crash occurred due to an error during piloting in bad weather conditions. “It is possible that, who was at the helm, overestimated his capabilities and experience, having decided that he could cope with the management of the fragile Robinson,” the Gazeta.Ru interlocutor, familiar with the investigation, said. -
Either one of the passengers pressed on him to rise into the air. ”
He notes that Rakitsky initially took risks when he flew from a helipad in Iogach (the former site of the republican Avialesohrana, which later became the base for AltaiAvia). “That day was bad weather: it was snowing and there was a strong wind,” the source said. “And the Robinson R-66 is different in that in the case of downwind, when there are downward and upward flows, it can lose controllability.”
From Iogach helicopter headed to Samysh base. “From there, Rakitsky was taken by Anatoly Bannyi, Deputy Prime Minister of the Altai Republic, Heli Club CEO at HeliMoscow, baseball player Gleb Vorevodin and his wife Elena,” a source from Gazeta.Ru said. - They had planned a sightseeing flight over the reserve. At the same time, neither the administration of the reserve was warned about the flight (flights are prohibited without notification to the administration of the reserve), nor the aviation authorities. ”
Meanwhile, as follows from the incident report (IAC), landing in the reserve on the Koksha cordon was forced. “The R-66 helicopter landed on the cordon at about 6.30 p.m. The reason for the landing was bad weather conditions, strong north wind of about 10 m / s with snow, very poor visibility, ”the document says.
The pilot wanted to wait out the bad weather. However, then it was decided to fly, no matter what, back to Samysh base.
According to eyewitnesses, the helicopter took off from the cordon at 20.15, and five minutes after the departure, it began to decline sharply and crashed into a lake, about a kilometer from the coast.
The IAC report emphasizes that, according to the certificate, flights of this type of helicopter above the water surface without floats installed at a distance from the coastline that exceeds the planning distance in autorotation mode (rotor rotation without the participation of the engine) are prohibited.
“That is, initially the entire flight went with violations,” the source of Gazeta.Ru said.
In turn, the Interregional Public Organization of Pilots and Citizens - Owners of Aircraft (AOPA-Russia) said that Dmitry Rakitsky is known as an experienced pilot-instructor, co-founder and chief pilot of Aviamarket (Heliport Istra) - a Russian Robinson dealer . He became the first pilot in the world flying a Robinson R-66 to the Arctic, participated in the first Russian round-the-world helicopter trip.
Meanwhile, the West Siberian Transport Investigation Department of the IC, which is investigating the crash, also notes that the crew of the Robinson R-66 helicopter, in which five people crashed, did not notify the air traffic authorities about the flight on February 12. This is stated in the official message of the UK. Now
the investigation considers three main versions of the crash: pilot error, difficult weather conditions, and helicopter technical malfunction.
“At the same time, employees of the company that carried out maintenance of the helicopter during interrogations showed that the helicopter was in good technical condition,” the department said.
The fact that the helicopter was in good condition is also mentioned in the IAC accident report. According to aviation experts, the helicopter left the assembly line in June 2013 and had serial number 0174. In August 2015, it issued a certificate of airworthiness for the helicopter. During operation, the car had no repairs. The helicopter belonged to Altaiavia LLC. At the same time, according to IAC experts, the tenant of R-66 Aeroclub AltaiAvia did not have an operator certificate.
