Aeroflot Flight 145

Weather conditions at the time were favorable for flight: cloud cover with a lower limit of 470 meters and visibility of 6 kilometers.In total, 11 people died in the crash: three crew members (the captain, navigator, and flight engineer) and eight passengers.[1][2] The primary cause of the accident was determined to be the captain's error, who descended below the safe altitude without having a visual reference to ground landmarks.The air traffic controller also made a mistake by permitting the aircraft to descend and approach the landing without seeing it on the radar.Additional contributing factors included the relatively low flying experience of three crew members (the first officer, navigator, and flight engineer) on Tu-124 aircraft, which increased the workload on the captain.
