According to the commander of the Air Force and air defense of Major General Igor Baluba, it is reliably to say that the emergency situation occurred in the horizontal flight of the Yak-130 aircraft over the Baranavichi airfield. “The crew after the emergency situation reported to the head of the flight to refuse the management system, which is confirmed by the materials of the objective control of black boxes. In this situation, according to the requirement of the Guidelines, namely, the guidelines for the flight operation of the Yak-130 aircraft, the crew was obliged to leave the plane – catapulted” , – he said.
According to published data, the head of flights at least ten times filed the command to eject. After that, the plane became unlikely, the crew did not leave the aircraft, but he managed to go to the backup control system. This made it possible to stabilize the direction of flight, but the height continued to fall rapidly. Since the emergency, a little more than a minute has passed before the disaster.
According to Goluba, “the crew showed the best qualities of the Belarusian military” and saved civilians, sending a plane to a point outside residential buildings.
