April 29 suburban airfield Chkalovsky nearly crashed Tu-154B reg. RA-85563 belonging to the Ministry of Defence. Hardly soaring, the liner is strongly tilted, then the crew with an enormous effort put him back on the strip. No injuries were reported. Tu-154B-2, tail number RA-85563 first flew in 1982, almost 30 years ago. From the first February 1983 - as part of the Air Forces of the USSR and then Russia. Since 2005 - was in custody at a military airfield near Moscow Chkalovsk. April 29 crew under the command of Yuri Rodionov had to overtake the plane to Samara on the repair works. But the flight lasted just over ten minutes at the lowest possible altitude. Realizing that the ship is actually out of control, the crew decided to put it. Situation greatly complicates the wind rose: "carcass" actually talks in three planes. Pilots are coming to the first round, although it seems from the plane just falls over the forest. Hiding behind trees, in a minute jet reappears in the sky. Pilots overshot past the runway and start a new entry, which eventually ends well.

29 april 2011 at Chkalovsky Airport (military airport base 31 km northeast of Moscow) TU-154 RA-85563 experienced serious trouble right after take-off. The automatic control system (АБСУ) broke down wich caused the pilots to steer the plane using only engines. The plane was made in 1982 and since 2005 never flew. The pilots were ordered to fly the aircraft to Samara for repairs. Luckily the captain Radionov is a very experienced pilot. If not for his skills the plane would definitely crash. The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force Alexander Zelin will award the pilots for their actions. The plane in result got no damage.
