Template:Infobox aircraft occurrence
On 9 August 2011, an Antonov An-12 cargo aircraft operated by Avis Amur, designated as Avis-Amur Flight 9209, crashed during a domestic journey from Magadan to Keperveyem, Russia, resulting in the deaths of all eleven individuals on board. The aircraft experienced an engine fire while en route and went down while attempting to return to Magadan.
Accident
The flight departed from Sokol Airport in Magadan bound for Keperveyem Airport, with nine crew members, two passengers, and carrying 17.58 tonnes of freight.[1] [2] [3] A fuel leak was initially reported, followed by confirmation of an engine fire as the Antonov approached the vicinity of the village of Omsukchan, approximately 230 nautical miles (430 km) northeast of Magadan.[4][1]
The plane attempted to return to Magadan but soon vanished from radar screens. The crash site was located at distances variously cited as 45 nautical miles (83 km) or 200 kilometres (110 nmi) from Omsukchan, or roughly 170 nautical miles (310 km) from Magadan. All occupants perished. Search efforts were complicated by foggy conditions, with the wreckage found scattered over a 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) stretch within a forested area.[1][2]
Aircraft
The aircraft involved in the incident was an Antonov An-12AP turboprop, bearing the registration RA-11125 and manufacturer’s serial number 3341006. Its maiden flight occurred in 1963, making it the longest-serving Russian-registered plane still engaged in commercial operations at the time of the crash.
Investigation
The Interstate Aviation Committee, representing the Commonwealth of Independent States, initiated a formal inquiry into the event. Following this accident, all Antonov An-12 aircraft were prohibited from operating within Russia until a thorough risk evaluation was conducted.
