Aeroflot Flight N-63
Aeroflot Flight N-63 was a scheduled Antonov An-24 flight from Kiev-Zhulhyany Airport to Vinnitsa Airport. The flight proceeded routinely through takeoff and cruise, but started to enter trouble when on final approach due to the bad weather; this included freezing rain with fog and low clouds. The first landing attempt was aborted. The pilots attempted a second approach, but couldn't land and initiated a go-around. During the go-around, the aircraft went nose-high and stalled before crashing 850 m (2,790 ft) short of the threshold. All 48 passengers and crew onboard were killed.[1] The aircraft had been operating for 10,658 flight cycles and had a total of 11,329 flight hours.[2]
