It is very rare that Curt Lewis shows wrong picture. In this case the picture is of an An-124. An-12 is tubo prop powered. (ed.)
Inquiry finds engine fault after fatal An-12 overrun
Russian investigators have disclosed findings of a
technical problem in one of the engines on a Silk Way Airlines Antonov An-12
which crashed on take-off in Afghanistan.
The aircraft (4K-AZ25) had been
leased for cargo transport and had been attempting departure from Camp Dwyer,
with six crew and three passengers, on 18 May.
Russia's Interstate
Aviation Committee says the take-off was conducted with a "faulty" inboard
right-hand Ivchenko Progress AI-20 engine.
The propeller, it says,
switched to "negative thrust" during the take-off roll, preventing the
powerplants from delivering the acceleration necessary to become
airborne.
As a result, the aircraft travelled the entire 2,400m length of
the runway, in about 70s, and overran at around 119kt.
It cross rough
ground and sustained substantial damage, with the outbreak of fire which
destroyed the airframe. None of the six crew members survived. One of the
passengers was also fatally injured.
