machine
The plane that crashed was a seven-month-old Jakowlew Jak-42D. The machine with the serial number 4520422116644 and the model serial number 14-02 was finally assembled at the manufacturing plant in Saratow on January 2, 1992 and delivered to China General Aviation that same month, where it received the aircraft registration B-2755. The three-beam medium range narrow-body aircraft was with three turbofan engines of the type Lotarev D-36 equipped.
Passengers and crew
The flight from Nanjing-Dajiaochang Airport (now a purely military airfield) to Xiamen-Gaoqi Airport had taken 116 passengers, with a crew of ten on board.
the accident
For the flight to Xiamen, the crew had received clearance to take off from runway 06. At 3:05 p.m. the machine rolled to the starting position. The take-off run began a minute later. The machine rotated and took off from the runway, but immediately afterwards there was a stall, whereupon the Yakovlev hit the runway again. The machine then overshot the runway and skidded about 420 to 600 meters until it hit a two meter high fence and exploded. The fuselage broke into three parts and a fire broke out. Some of the debris fell into a nearby pond.
Victim
Eight of the ten crew members and 100 of the 116 passengers died in the accident. There were only 18 survivors.
root cause
It turned out that the machine was not configured correctly to start. The horizontal stabilizer was still in the landing position.
