In Better
Days It was designed to
replace the veteran
piston
Ilyushin Il-14
transport on short to medium haul trips, optimised for
operating from rough strips and unprepared airports in
remote locations. The high-wing layout protects engines
and blades from debris, the power-to-weight ratio is
higher than that of many comparable aircraft and the
machine is rugged, requiring minimal ground support
equipment. Due to its rugged
airframe and good performance, the
An-24
was adapted to carry out many secondary missions such as
ice reconnaissance and engine/propeller test-bed, as well
as further development to produce the
An-26
tactical transport, An-30
photo-mapping/survey aircraft and
An-32
tactical transport with more powerful engines. Various
projects were envisaged such as a four jet short/medium
haul airliner and various iterations of
powerplant. The main production
line was at the Kiev-Svyatoshin
(now "Aviant") aircraft production plant which built 985,
with 180 built at Ulan
Ude and a
further 197 An-24T
tactical transport/freighters at
Irkutsk.
Production in Ukraine and the
USSR
was shut down by 1978. Production continues
at China's
Xi'an
Aircraft Industrial
Corporation
which makes licenced, reverse-engineered and redesigned
aircraft as the Xian
[Yunshuji] Y7,
and its derivatives. Manufacture of
the
Y7, in civil
form, has now been supplanted by the
MA60
derivative with western engines and avionics, to improve
performance and economy, and widen the export
appeal. There are at least 46
crashes recorded for the
Antonov
An-24.
in the
Air Disaster
web site database, and 46 crashes recorded for the
Antonov
An-24. The Antonov An-24,
which was given the NATO reporting name
"Coke",
is a 44-seat twin turboprop transport designed and
manufactured in the
Soviet Union
by the Antonov
Design Bureau
from 1957 to 1979. According to an entry
in Wikipedia,
there have been a total of 109 hull loss accidents, which
resulted in a total of 1,673 fatalities, and 11 other
incidents with a total of 59 fatalities. Other published
reports indicate the aircraft has been involved in 1,971
recorded fatalities in 134 accidents since first being
used in commercial flights. The
Antonov
An-24 carries
a crew of 3-4, up to 52 passengers depending on version,
has a maximum takeoff weight of 46,000 pounds, has a
maximum speed of 310 mph, a cruising speed of 280 mph,

DISASTER We will never forget
the January 2009 "Miracle
On The Hudson"
when US
Airways
Flight
1549 survived
it's 3 minute flight -- and was successfully landed in
the Hudson
River
of
New York with
the courage and skill of
Captain
Chesley B. Sullenberger,
III. The
"Miracle" was simply stated: there were no fatalities.
Captain
Chesley B. Sullenberger,
III performed
the improbable! Just 42 days later
there was to be the "Miracle
At Schipol"
As Captain
Hasan Tahsin Arisan
brought his Turkish
Airlines
B737-800
down in a muddy farming field, short of a safe landing at
Amsterdam's
Schiphol International
Airport.
Miracle? Again,
that's the only definition when 127 souls survived a
horrendous impact from which no one should have walked
away. Actually, about 30 of the 127 survivors did just
that -- walked away with no deaths. The next major miracle
was to happen when an American
Airlines plane
with more than 150 people on board overshot the runway on
the night of Dec. 22 2009, while landing in heavy rain in
Kingston,
Jamaica,
injuring more than 40 people.
Flight
331 took off
from Miami
International Airport
at 8:52 p.m. ET and arrived at Kingston's
Norman
Manley International
Airport at
10:22 p.m. ET. The flight originated at
Reagan
National Airport in Washington,
D.C. It was
carrying 148 passengers and six crew members. Even though
the Boeing
737-800 broke
into three sections -- all walked away -- another
absolute miracle' Indeed, 2009 was the
year of aviation miracles! By 2011, some of this
amazing luck has apparently weakened. On Monday, July 11,
2011 a Russian built Antonov
An-24 twin
engine turboprop aircraft, registration
RA-47302,
built in 1975 and operated by
Angara
Airlines (IK),
made an emergency water ditching crash landing at 11:55
a.m. local time on the Obi
River in
western Siberia
after the plane's left engine caught fire. Of the 33 passengers,
including 1 infant, and 4 crew members -- 6 persons died
at the scene, and 30 persons were injured, 18 of whom
remain hospitalized. Russian
Federation President Dmitry
Medvedev
praised the flight crew for their skills in minimizing
fatalities, but instructed the government to consider the
possibility of early retirement of all
An-24
planes. The last such model was produced in
1979. Not all the passengers
survived -- but by any measure -- it was at least a
"Minor
Miracle". This feature deals
with two concepts:"Minor
Miracle On The Obi River"
........ and
.......
of course
.......
as always .......

First flown in

Thanks To Our Contributors For The "Minor Miricle On The Obi" FeatureOur Contributor for this feature is:Our "Doc" - the faithful & enlightened source who must remain anonymousThe Cargo Letter appreciates the continuing efforts of these valued contributors.
NOTE: Please Provide Us With Your Additional Information For This Loss.
EDITOR'S NOTE FOR SURVEYORS, ATTORNEYS & MARINE ADJUSTERS: The Internet edition effort of The Cargo Letter now celebrates it's 8th Year of Service -- making us quite senior in this segment of the industry. We once estimated container underway losses at about 1,500 per year. Lloyd's put that figure at about 10,000 earlier this year. Quite obviously, the reporting mechanism for these massive losses is not supported by the lines. News of these events is not posted to the maritime community. Our new project is to call upon you -- those handling the claims -- to let us know of each container loss at sea-- in confidentiality. Many of you survey on behalf of cargo interests with no need for confidentiality. Others work for the lines & need to be protected. As a respected Int'l publication, The Cargo Letter enjoys full press privileges & cannot be forced to disclose our sources of information. No successful attempt has ever been made. If a personal notation for your report is desired -- each contributor will be given a "hot link" to your company Website in each & every report. Please take moment & report your "overside" containers to us. If you do not wish attribution, your entry will be "anonymous." This will will benefit our industry -- for obvious reasons! McD
* NOTE: The Cargo Letter wants you to know that by keeping the identity of our contributors 100% Confidential, you are able to view our continuing series of "Cargo Disasters." Our friends send us materials which benefit the industry. The materials are provided to our news publication with complete and enforceable confidentiality for the sender. In turn, we provide these materials to you.
