Aeroflot Flight 821
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_821
Later it was revealed that Medvedev's flight record as a captain was 452 hours
along with Allaberdin's low experience of piloting the Boeing 737. For the most
part of their careers, Medvedev and Allaberdin had piloted the Tupolev Tu-134
and Antonov An-2 respectively. Gennady Kurzenkov, head of the State Aviation
Inspection Service, stated that the flight crew submitted falsified documents to
the airline showing that they had passed preflight courses.[21][22][23]
A recording of the conversation between ATC and Flight 821 was published online.
According to the final investigation report, the captain, who was making the
communications, was 'mildly intoxicated', and this can be heard in the audio.
Irek Birbov, the air traffic controller on duty at the time of the accident,
said that on final approach the aircraft was too far right of the localizer. He
advised the captain to change heading. Furthermore, instead of descending to
land, the plane then went up.
The controller requested Flight 821 to check the altitude: "According to my
data, you are climbing. Confirm current altitude 900 meters (3,000 ft)." The
aircraft should have been at an altitude of 600 metres (2,000 ft) at that time
to descend further 300 metres (980 ft). The pilot replied "Roger, we are
descending" and initiated a climb to about 1200 m, at which point he could no
longer catch the glideslope. The controller instructed the pilot to turn right
and go around. The captain acknowledged but failed to comply. Instead, he turned
left and asked to continue his approach. The controller asked whether everything
was all right with the crew; the pilots confirmed that it was.
