| Чешки бизнес-самолет катастрофира при опит за кацане в Киев 09.12.2007//15:08 по Гринуич Петима души загинаха при катастрофата на чешки самолет Beеchcraft-90 King Air край Киев. Самолетът извършвал чартърен полет от Чехия към Украйна. Той паднал близо до второто по големина летище на украинската столица, "Жуляни". Летището се намира близо до вилна зона на украинската столица. Според очевидци самолетът се взривил във въздуха, докато се подготвял за кацане. Това обаче едва ли е съвсем точно. На летището е имало гъста мъгла с видимост до 30 метра. За безопасно кацане , според летищните власти, е необходима видимост от 60 метра. Диспечерите от контролната кула двукратно са предупреждавали екипажа на самолета да мине на втори кръг или се отправи за кацане на друго летище. Екипажът не е се е вслушал в препоръките им и при подхождането за кацане се е блъснал в барака намираща се в района на летището. Самолетът е бил собственост или нает от чешката компания Minib Ltd. Сред пътниците са били представителя на фирмата г-н Новак (1958) със съпругата си (1962) и още една жена (1973 год. на раждане). Към момента има две версии за катастрофата: лошото време и проблеми с бордната апаратура. Причините за инцидента се изясняват. |
| Версии крушения пассажирского самолета под Киевом 09.12.2007//15:08 по Гринвичу На Украине, в районе аэропорта "Жуляны", вечером в воскресенье потерпел крушение пассажирский самолет Beеchcraft-90 King Air, следовавший рейсом из Чехии в Киев. Самолет пропал с радаров около 17.00 (18.00 мск) и упал в 300 метрах от аэропорта на поле совхоза "Совки". Пилоты чешского самолета проигнорировали требования диспетчеров аэропорта "Жуляны", в результате чего машина потерпела крушение. В момент происшествия видимость в районе аэропорта составляла 30 метров, а для безопасности она должна быть не менее 60. Диспетчеры советовали пилотам сделать еще один круг или использовать другой аэродром, но экипаж к рекомендациям не прислушался. Точную причину катастрофы, установит детальное обследование места аварии. Все погибшие в результате катастрофы были гражданами Чехии. На борту воздушного судна находилось трое пассажиров и два пилота. Среди пассажиров был представитель чешской компании МИНИБ ЛТД господин Новак (1958 года рождения) с супругой (1962 года рождения) и еще одна женщина (1973 года рождения). У следствия сейчас есть две главные версии причин произошедшего: это плохая погода и проблемы с аппаратурой на борту самолета. |

| Названа причина гибели Ан-12 под Москвой 18.12.2007 Катастрофа самолета Ан-12 авиакомпании "Атран" в районе Домодедово была вызвана отказом техники. Экипаж не виноват в падении воздушного судна и гибели семи человек. К такому выводу пришел Межгосударственный авиационный комитет. "Отсутствие в руководстве по летной эксплуатации (РЛЭ) самолета Ан-12 рекомендаций по действиям пилотов в случае одновременного отказа двух двигателей с одной стороны крыла, недостатки имеющихся рекомендаций РЛЭ, а также недостатки технического и методического обеспечения тренажерной подготовки практически исключают должный уровень подготовки экипажей по действиям в подобных случаях", - цитируют "Вести.ру" заключение комиссии. Напомним, что трагедия произошла 29 июля 2007 года. Сразу после взлета у самолета отказали два двигателя из четырех. Обломки воздушного судна нашли в четырех километрах от взлетно-посадочной полосы, в лесном массиве между Домодедовским кладбищем и поселком Семивраги. По факту авиакатастрофы было возбуждено уголовное дело по статье "Нарушение правил безопасности движения и эксплуатации железнодорожного, воздушного или водного транспорта, повлекшее по неосторожности смерть двух и более лиц". |
| */Emergency helicopter landing: Heart attack kills MONUC crew member KINSHASA, Dec 18, 2007 - A crew member died Tuesday of a heart attack as the helicopter he was travelling on in the conflict-torn eastern Democratic Republic of Congo made an emergency landing, said a UN spokeswoman. "According to early information received by MONUC (the UN peacekeeping mission), this accident was due to a technical fault," Sylvie van den Wildenberg told news agency AFP. "The provisional toll is one death, a crew member who suffered a heart attack shortly after the emergency landing, and several other people on board injured." |
 |
| The aircraft, an MI-17 transporting "at least six civilian passengers and five crew members", was forced down in the Masisi territory, near Matanda, some 45 kilometres (30 miles) west of the provincial Nord-Kivu (east) capital of Goma. It was travelling between Goma and Walikale, a mining town about 130 kilometres northwest of Goma. MONUC was unable to give details as to the nature of the civil mission, nor the identity of passengers and the dead person. Crew on these helicopters are generally Russian or Ukrainian. "A rescue party and a (UN peacekeeping) rapid reaction force have been despatched urgently to the scene," van den Wildenberg added. Since the end of August, 20,000 government soldiers in Nord-Kivu have been involved in fighting against around 4,000 troops loyal to renegade ex-general Laurent Nkunda. Nkunda claims to be defending Tutsis against Hutu rebels from neighbouring Rwanda. He has rejected demands by Kinshasa and the UN to disarm, as well as by Washington to surrender and go into exile. About 800,000 villagers have been displaced, according to the UN, by clashes not only between the army and Nkunda, but also by fighting involving the Mai-Mai militia and Rwandan Hutu rebels hostile to Nkunda. (AFP) As an addition the Russian medias said that the crashed helicopter was Mi-8 (RA25492) belonging to the Russian aircompany UTair. |

| */ Plane Crashes in Antarctica, Scientists Safe An airplane chartered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) crashed shortly after take-off Thursday in Antarctica while providing support to a group of researchers at a remote location on the southernmost continent. None of the 10 people aboard was injured, but the DC-3 Basler (C-FMKB) was severely damaged. The aircraft experienced difficulties in taking off from a field site near Mt. Patterson in West Antarctica on the morning of Dec. 20, local time, roughly 550 miles from McMurdo Station, NSF's logistical hub in Antarctica. The wings, props, and tail all got bent up pretty bad. The landing gear, skis, and hydraulic system (the red stain in the picture is hydraulic fluid) all were ripped from the plane and strewn about the ice. The six passengers aboard the plane were part of the NSF-funded portion of the international Polar Earth Observatory Network (POLENET) project, which is deploying GPS units and seismic sensors across Antarctica to make observations that are vital to understanding how the massive ice sheets are changing. |
 |
| In turn, these measurements are critical to understanding how ice sheets affect sea level worldwide, and thereby global climate in general. The researchers and four aircraft crewmembers were flown back to McMurdo Station. The plane is owned by Kenn Borek Air Ltd., a Canadian aviation firm. |

| Tarom aircraft damaged at Otopeni Airport, Romania |
| 30.12.2007 - A Tarom Boeing 737-300 aircraft (YR-BGC) that was scheduled to depart to Sharm El Sheikh with 117 passengers and six members of the crew on board collided with a maintenance vehicle on the runway last Sunday. There were no victims in the accident, but the landing gear, jamb, left-hand side fuselage, all the main engine, the left wing were damaged and the structure of the plane suffered distortions. The preliminary Report that was prepared at the beginning of the week by the accident investigating commission identifies the cause of the accident to be the bad co-ordination between the tower and the maintenance team on the runway.

One of the planes was a 1964 Piper Twin Comanche on a flight plan from Ocala to Pompano Beach Air Park, and a Miami approach controller was giving the plane directions to the airport. The controller instructed the Piper to descend to 2,000 feet and advised the pilot that there were other airplanes in its vicinity, according to Jim Marinitti of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. The controller, who was "moderately busy" at the time, made radio calls to a few other aircraft. Then he heard a "conflict alert" at his radar station, meaning two planes were too close together. At about 3 p.m., the controller was about to call the Twin Comanche to warn the pilot but by then both planes had already disappeared from his screen. The flight plan for other plane, a Cessna 152 based in Palm Beach County, is unclear, and the controller in Miami was not in contact with it. It was the fourth midair collision of small planes over South Florida, one of the nation's busiest areas for general aviation flights, since 2000. 09.12.2007*/Japan/Shizuoka - an Eurocopter EC 135T2 crashed into a reservoir killing the pilot and injuring the mechanic. |
