Citat :

Polish President Lech Kaczynski was among 97 people killed when their Russian-built Tupolev Tu-154 airliner crashed in thick fog in Russia on Saturday.

Here are some details about the Tu-154 and its safety record:

-- The Tu-154 is the standard airliner on Russian domestic routes and in other states of the former Soviet Union and to a lesser extent in eastern Europe and Iran.

-- It seats up to 180 passengers with 3-4 crew.

-- It was Russia's answer to two Western aircraft of the 1960s which were also configured with three engines at the rear, the Boeing 727 and Britain's Hawker Siddeley Trident.

-- Russian airline safety hit rock bottom during the economic chaos of the early 1990s when there were at least 10 fatal crashes involving the Tu-154.

-- Two of the worst crashes in the last 30 years involved the Tu-154 in the 1980s - one in 1984 when an Aeroflot Tu-154 collided with two airport service vehicles while landing at Omsk, Russia, killing around 174 people, and one in July 1985 when an Aeroflot Tu-154 crashed in Uzbekistan killing 200.

-- There have been three deadly crashes of a Tu-154 in Iran since 2002, the last one in July last year killed 168 people. Iran said in February it was planning to stop using the planes.

-- The Tu-154 first flew in 1968, was delivered to Aeroflot in early 1971 and entered regular service in February 1972. There were major upgrades in the 1980s and 1990s to improve the wings, engines and avionics.

-- More than 900 of the planes have been produced including freighter versions, and about 250 remain in service.

Prezenta ultimului comandant de pe YR-TPH in Sinteza zilei de la A3 m-a dezamagit, asteptam un raspuns mai rational

Cu tot respectul pentru un pilot de avion, si eu am fost deziluzionat. Sa dai vina pe o vointa extraterestra?...

Intr-o emisiune unde moderatorul vorbeste mai mult ca invitatul, ce sa mai zica si el ! Din startul emisiunii s-a indus asta !
Apoi intrebarea era cum/de ce au insistat sa aterizeze in conditiile date si daca nimeni nu stie raspunsul (deocamdata)... a lasat-o asa...

Eu am auzit o alta ipoteza care pare a fi plauzibila :

Pe vremea aceea carburantul era cumparat cu bani cash pe care pilotul ii avea in custodie. A venit scurt la aterizare pentru a economisi kerosen. La sol se urmarea cumpararea fictiva a cat mai PUTIN kerosen si diferenta intre ce se alimenta si ce se scria pe bonul de consum era incasata de echipaj iar cel cu cisterna ramanea cu un plus pe stoc si cu un plus de bani in buzunar.

Se pare ca asta a fost adevarul. De prea multe ori aminteste pilotul in interviu ca el a salvat banii statului aflati in servieta. Pe mine m-ar fi interesat prea putin intr-o asemenea situatie.

E o mica eroare privind accidentul din Mauritania in mesajul de pe pagina 2... Nu puteau ateriza cu soarele in fata, intrucat amerizarea s-a intamplat la ora 3. Vina pentru situatie ii apartine dlui Mitu. Intr-adevar ILS-ul aeroportului din Mauritania era defect, insa el este cel care a facut o baie cu Tupolevul... Si sa nu uitam ca a murit un om

Does anyone have details of where and when the TAROM Tu-154's were scrapped?

YR-TPA, YR-TPB, YR-TPC, YR-TPD, YR-TPE, YR-TPF, YR-TPI, YR-TPK, YR-TPL

Do any sections still exist?

Steve Darke

As far as I know they were all scrapped at Otopeni, no sections remained.

according to http://www.scramble.nl/sovdb.htm
YR-TPA,C,I were scrapped in 1995-96
YR-TPD,E,F,K,L in 1998
and YR-TPB in 2001

TU-154B-2 "YR-TPB"

Nu cred sa fie avion mai frumos decat Tu-154

Intradevar, o legenda... Si totusi, intr- un zbor de la new york spre bucuresti, cu vant de coada s-a trecut de bariera de 1000 km/h
Asta in conditiile in care desi vibra,a fost totul okay
Oare daca ar fi avut con in nas ce viteza ar fi prins?
Brgds

Legat de Tu-154, cand inca mai zbura la noi, am auzit o convorbire radio, in care pilotul a raportat la cererea controlorului de trafic, viteza de 1.000 km/h.

Si eu am cerut viteza la sol si am obtinut valori frecvente peste 1000 Km/h, daca retin, 1050 la Tupolev si 1100 la IL-62, totul depinde de vantul la altitudine, jet-stream
