Why the plane fell

On the first day of the disaster information on the possible causes of the crash came contradictory. Thus, the Egyptian authorities announced that Airbus-321 crew complained of a problem with the engine. They also put forward the version of the technical malfunction as a major. At the same time

in the “Kogalymavia” stated that they see no reason to doubt the technical serviceability of the aircraft.

The Investigative Committee is likely It will check all the versions. In particular, investigators Volga Investigation Department of Transport of the Russian IC in Samara in place last refueling crashed the plane on Saturday to take samples of fuel.

A few hours after the accident LIH (banned in Russia Organization) through its user-friendly news agency Aamaq stated that taking responsibility for the collapse of the Airbus 321. For information about this and placed agency Reuters. It is known that the local fighters have no weapons capable of hitting a flying target at such a height. Later statements by terrorists categorically denied Russian officials, including the Minister of Transport. Despite all of this

West of Air France and Lufthansa have decided to avoid flights over the territory of the Sinai Peninsula.

The weather at the time of the disaster on North Sinai area was good. “No severe weather conditions there, partly cloudy weather, no precipitation, visibility 6-8 km. Easy weather “- he told” Interfax “employee of the situational center on Saturday.

Sam crashed plane is not the newest and had to change a few owners. Airliner Airbus A321-231 EI-ETJ made its first flight in May 1997.

board operated for 18.6 years.

Before MetroJet (airline “Kogalymavia”) the aircraft exploited the Turkish airline Onur Air, and before that – the national airline of the Republic of Lebanon Middle East Airlines.

Could the economy lead to tragedy

Airbus A321 crashed was 18 years old. However, contrary to popular belief, the age of the aircraft does not affect its performance. The fact that each aircraft is obliged to undergo regular routine checks and inspection in accordance with the rules of the International Air Transport Association (ICAO). Without proper certificate air power and the airport can not admit to board the flight. It is worth noting that, unlike the well-known in the Russian way “to quickly make” that a car this option with the plane is impossible, since

each technician and technical team checks the airplane carries personal responsibility for your site inspection and puts his signature on its outcome.

In addition, each member of the technical staff is responsible only for your site (for example the engine of the aircraft, the state of the flap, tail, etc. ). Most aircraft flying in Russia, are maintenance abroad in specialized centers, and some types of maintenance of foreign civil aircraft may only be carried out abroad.

During his lifetime, the plane passes many technical checks that actually change each other: Transit check, Daily Check, Weekly check, A-check, B-check, C-check and D-check.

A-check and B-check – is an easy (light) check, while the C and the D-check is a severe form of maintenance. D-check takes place about every 12 years (that is, the board has crashed was a D-check) and lasts 30-40 days. While it is checked all the aircraft and all its components and parts. Nodes, exhausted or authenticated, must be replaced. Practically, this means that the team is almost entirely ITS parses the plane, checking every detail, electronics, wiring and assembly for corrosion or rust. In case of even small signs of corrosion, detail, or part of the skeleton are replaced with a new one. According to experts, the de facto this means that

25 years of service from all parts of the aircraft, which was assembled at the factory, the remaining units of the original units and parts.

The world experience shows that the majority of airlines trying to get rid of old boards, constantly updating its fleet. However, it is not in the safety and economic benefits in the unit. The higher and more complex level of technical inspection of aircraft, the longer it lasts and the more it costs the airline. Thus,

plane passing day 30-40 D-check company will be serious losses, since the board during the test can not be used, and thus generate income.

However, despite the high safety, any crash attracting increased attention from international aviation authorities as well as manufacturers of the crashed plane. As a result of investigations into the causes of the crash or incident international aviation authorities may introduce new requirements for aviation safety.

So, for example, after several incidents involving failure of navigation on the plane, passengers were forbidden to include mobile phones and aircraft manufacturers were ordered to think about improving the insulation of electronic on-board systems aviaborta. As a result, new models of aircraft, this problem is solved and some aviation authorities, such as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has officially abolished the outdated prescription. Similarly, we were introduced and guidelines to keep the shutter windows open during takeoff and landing: First,

through the windows, passengers may notice a state of emergency for airplanes and inform the crew and and secondly in the case of a hard landing for the shutter window can be broken, and there is a risk that the sharp pieces of plastic injure passengers.

The reason for today’s tragedy remains to be seen, but we can safely say that the correlation between the age of the aircraft and its safety is not.

The Russian General Staff summed up the results of fighting work of our pilots over the last month of their stay in Syria.

The head of the Main Operations Directorate Andrew Kartapolov said Friday at a briefing that during this time Pilots made 1391 sorties and destroyed in 1623 the object of terrorists. Strokes underwent 249 different control centers and communication centers, 51 training camp for militants, 35 factories and workshops, where the terrorists were made improvised explosive devices, 131 storage of ammunition and fuel, as well as 371 strong point and fortified node 786 field camps, and various databases.

Actions our air group, the general said, allowed the Syrian government army launched its offensive against militants in the provinces of Aleppo, Latakia, Idlib, Homs and Damascus and clean from terrorists significant by area. “For three weeks of active fighting the Syrian army liberated more than 50 major settlements, about 350 square kilometers of territory,” – said Kartapolov and added that there already started returning residents.

In addition, as a result of strikes Russian aviation banned terrorist organizations in the Russian Federation “IG” and “en-Nycpa Dzhebhat” lost the initiative and had to go around to the front of the defensive tactics. This compromised the sustainability of gangs. This, according to Kartapolova contributed to the destruction of 28 of the most odious gang leaders.

However, according to our General Staff, minimize the use of government troops its air and artillery. This is due to the desire to preserve the infrastructure of cities and protect the civilian population.

However, the Russian Defense Ministry believe that talking about the victory over the rebels is premature. They continue to resist the Syrian army, in spite of the mass desertion and considerable losses in their ranks. Members of the banned terrorist organization in the Russian Federation “IG” continue to hold the position in a number of ways, especially since a few years, these positions have been transformed into a powerful fortified defense areas with an extensive network of underground tunnels and shelters.

Do not abandoned the militants and the usual methods of intimidation to them. As in most areas of warfare once well-trained gangs have become uncontrollable army, the leaders of these groups began to kill her. “To stop the flow of deserters, leaders of terrorists have resorted to unprecedented brutality measures – said Kartapolov. – We are used to that militants executed prisoners, hostages. The latter case – a public execution in the suburbs of Damascus, Hanshi 17 militants from the armed gangs,” al-Ghurab “who were trying to leave the war zone and to enter the territory of Jordan.” The general added that to intimidate their punishment drove the local population, but all the action was filmed on video for subsequent distribution to other groups operating in the region of Damascus and elsewhere.

At the same time the leaders of some terrorist groups are changing tactics. Thus, the militants of “Islamic state” and the group “Al-Nusra Dzhebhat” agreed to resist the offensive of the government troops in the province of Hama together. “For the political support and financial assistance from abroad, management of a number of armed groups that were part of the terrorist group” Dzhebhat al-Nusra, “has decided to waive the symbols and going under the banner of” Haruko Ahrar al-Sham “, which is assigned the West to “moderate opposition”, – he said at a briefing Kartapolov.

According to him, the terrorists are also trying to replenish their gangs of new militants. Most mass the nature of the process now is in the province of Aleppo, where rebels are trying to transfer reserves from Iraq and other neighboring states. “However, the level of these reserves, and their morale is very low”, – said the head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff. From this circumstance Kartapolov connects the fact that he was in a number of areas in the environment or under fire, the Syrian government troops gangsters try to escape, claiming to belong to the so-called “moderate opposition” and their leaders because of the cowardice and unwillingness to fight no longer pay them money.

As for the present Syrian opposition, as said Kartapolov, our defense ministry is ready to cooperate with all the forces that are fighting against the terrorists “Islamic state” and “Dzhebhat al-Nusra”, including – with the Free Syrian army. Moreover, the representative of the Russian General Staff has promised: Information moderate opposition on objects “IG” will be studied, and these facilities will be for Russian pilots priority objectives.

At the same time Kartapolov admitted that “after months of extreme difficult to understand the nature of the claims and actions of “moderate opposition” in Syria. According to him, in the face of the country’s occupation by international terrorist forces all patriotic forces should unite and stand together against the common enemy. “Unfortunately, this has not happened,” – he stated General.

theme development

He also commented on the publication of some Western media about the actions of our pilots in Syria. “Despite the fact that the General Staff as quickly as possible and fully inform the public about the actions of the Russian aircraft in the Syrian Arab Republic, the Western media almost every day there are new fakes, where accusations against us of indiscriminate strikes, “- said the general. According to him, credible evidence or evidence to support these claims “Traditionally there are no” and as evidence are presented collages or videos of some ruins without reference to the place and time of the event.

– agreed already to the fact that the alleged number of destroyed our air strikes hospitals, mosques, houses and cultural monuments exceeds the number of blows inflicted by the Russian air force against terrorists in general – was indignant Kartapolov.

As an example of such an information provocation, he referred to the adoption of the Western media about the allegedly destroyed by Russian aircraft in Jisr al-Shugurov (Idlib) mosque named Umar al-Faruq. “Today we will show the real picture, using the data of objective control – appealed to reporters a representative of the General Staff. – The display presents aerial photographs of the mosque made by our aircraft yesterday, October 29. The pictures clearly show that the mosque does not have any damage.”

Our General particularly outraged that such a fake, including spreading quite authoritative publications, particularly the British. “I once again appeal to our Western partners, who are trying to accuse us of indiscriminate attacks – said Kartapolov. – We know how much at any one time spacecraft and reconnaissance aircraft observes the actions of the Russian Air Force in Syria. Therefore, if the military department NATO countries and other countries willing to have something to blame, they have every opportunity to present concrete facts and documents, as we do “.

The general also said that, according to the concluded with the United States to the memorandum, our Ministry of Defence twice a day, and the need for emergency and often discusses with the US security concerns in Syrian airspace.

Help “RG”

In December 2014 the Supreme Court recognized the terrorist international organizations “Islamic state” and “Al-Nusra Front” by banning their activities in the country. Thus it was satisfied the claim of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Russia. In this regard, any involvement in the activities of the “Islamic State” and “Al-Nusra Front” in Russia is a criminal offense.
