An Antonov 24B passenger plane, CCCP-46269, was destroyed when it struck terrain while on approach to Amderma Airport (AMV), Russia. The airplane operated on a domestic flight from Arkhangelsk (ARH).
There were low clouds at Amderma and the visibility was 8 km. During final approach the crew descended below the glide path. The ground proximity warning system sounded for 15 seconds, but the crew continued to descend. The bottom of the cockpit and the propellers collided with a small slope of a hill. The collision with the ground occurred at an indicated speed of 206 km/h and a vertical rate of descent of 6 m/s. The airplane broke up and the main wreckage came to rest on the sandy shore of the Kara Sea at 20-30 m from the water's edge.
