== Accident==
The approach was carried out on runway 19 at Vnukovo Airport, which was 3060 m long. The captain was in control of the aircraft during approach.
The approach was performed without significant deviations from the glide path
At
Three seconds after touchdown nose gear strut was compressed. At this stage the right gear strut compression signal had not yet been sensed. Almost simultaneously with the touchdown of the nose landing gear, the crew

As a safety feature, both sets of main landing gear were required to be compressed simultaneously before the [[Thrust reversal|thrust reversers]] could deploy. Because there was no compression of the right landing gear, the reversers were never deployed, and moving the controls to the Maximum Reverse position caused an increase of forward thrust in both engines. In addition to the lack of reverse thrust, the airbrakes and spoilers failed to activate automatically, and the crew did not attempt to activate them manually. The minimum airspeed which the aircraft reached, 7–8 seconds after landing, was 200 km/h to 205 km/h, after which the speed began to increase to a maximum of 240 km/h. The increased speed, along with rolling of the aircraft from side to side, alternately compressed the left and right landing gear struts. The crew attempted to activate the reversers a second time, but because there was no time when both landing gear struts were compressed, they were unsuccessful. The wheel brakes were also ineffective, as they also required compression of the gear strut to function correctly.<ref name="avsn">{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20121229-0|title=Accident description|last=Ranter|first=Harro|work=aviation-safety.net|publisher=[[Aviation Safety Network]]|access-date=2012-12-29}}</ref>
