The YAK service flight 9633 was a charter flight on which a Yakovlev Jak-42D had an accident on September 7, 2011 when taking off from Tunoschna airport near Yaroslavl in Russia . The accident attracted particular attention because almost the entire team of the Lokomotive Yaroslavl ice hockey club was killed.
Accident and cause
The accident occurred around 16:05 local time when taking off from Tunoschna airport near Yaroslavl. The Yakovlev Jak-42D of the airline YAK Service ( Russian Як-Сервис ) rolled over the end of the runway when it took off and only took off from the gravel strip behind it. After that, according to eyewitness reports, the aircraft hardly gained any altitude and collided with an antenna, whereupon it broke and crashed into a branch of the Volga not far from the mouth of the Tunoschonka .
The accident was caused by pilot error. One of the pilots unintentionally and undetected, activated the brakes during the take-off run. The copilot also had medication in his blood that impaired his ability to react and his fitness to fly.
There were 45 people on board: 37 members of the Lokomotive Yaroslavl ice hockey team and 8 crew members. 43 people were killed immediately in the accident, 2 initially survived seriously injured: the striker Alexander Galimow and the flight attendant Alexander Sisow. Alexander Galimov also died five days after the crash.
The ice hockey team was on the way to the Belarusian capital Minsk , where their first championship game of the 2011/12 season against HK Dinamo Minsk should have taken place.
Effects
- The accident occurred on the day of the start of the 2011/12 season of the Continental Hockey League . The traditional opening game for Kubok Otkrytija between the reigning Gagarin Cup winner Salawat Julajew Ufa and runner-up Atlant Mytishchi was initially under after 12:13 minutes in the first third when the score was 1-0 for Ufa after the officials became aware of the crash - and then canceled.
- The league management of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) announced the day after the accident that the game would be suspended until further notice. The start of the season has therefore been postponed indefinitely. A little later, the start of the season was scheduled for September 12th.
- Although the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl association lost almost its entire team in the crash, KHL president Vyacheslav Fetissov announced on September 8th that the members of the new squad would be introduced on September 11th. This would also have been linked to the promised participation in the KHL season starting on September 12th. Three days after the accident, team president Yuri Yakovlev announced that Lokomotive Yaroslavl would do without loan players and would suspend play in the 2011/12 KHL season. However, the newly formed team should compete in the second-rate Wysschaja Hockey League from December 2011 onwards and be automatically set for their play-offs .
- The Kubok Otkrytija (opening cup ), on the day of which the accident happened, has been renamed the Lokomotive Cup .
- In Russia, flight operations with identical aircraft have been suspended until further notice for the purpose of a one-off inspection.
- After the crash, Russian President Medvedev called for a radical reform of Russian civil aviation with the aim of improving security.
