Why do people not take off

The Khmeimim exploding at Tuesday at the Khmeimim air base in Syria, the Su-24M front-line bomber tried to take off when his systems were in the so-called "unstressed position". This was reported by Kommersant with reference to a source close to the disaster investigation commission.

According to preliminary reports, the indicators in the pilot’s cab showed that the plane was ready to take off, but the stabilizer, flaps and dumpings were not transferred to the “take -off” mode. According to the source, this could become the result of both technical problems and crew errors. Perhaps the pilot for some reason did not transfer the aircraft system into the condition that was necessary for take-off.

The pilots were expected to raise the car into the air until the last, but having reached the runway, they could no longer stop the plane or eject, the source said. After the Su-24M rolled out of the runway, the front stand of his chassis broke off. The completely seasoned plane hit the ground, after which it caught fire and exploded. The pilots of the Baltic Fleet Captains Yuri Medvedkov (commander) and Yuri Kopylov (navigator) died.

To establish the causes of the disaster, Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu ordered to create a special commission. The parametric self -recorder of the aircraft will help to determine the exact cause of the crash, it has already been discovered.

According to the military, before departure, technical specialists completely checked the plane, did not arise about his condition. Immediately after the disaster, the Ministry of Defense said that the cause of the crash of the bomber could be a technical malfunction .
