Faulty maintenance was believed to be the cause.[3][4][5] As of 2019, it remains the deadliest airplane crash ever to occur in mainland China.[6]

Aircraft

The aircraft was a Tupolev Tu-154M (registration B-2610, factory 86A740, serial no. 0740) was released by the Kuibyshev Aviation Plant (KuAPO) on December 22, 1986 and was immediately transferred to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). On July 1, 1988, due to reorganization, CAAC transferred the aircraft to China Northwest Airlines. The aircraft was powered with three turbojet Soloviev D-30KU-154-II engines from the Rybinsk Engine Plant. On the day of the accident, the aircraft had 12,507 flying hours and 6,651 takeoff and landing cycles.[7]

Passengers and crew

The flight crew members were captain Li Gangqiang, faculty captain Xin Tiancai, first officer Yang Min, pilot Zhang Nanjing, and flight engineer Kang Youfa. There were also nine flight attendants on board.

Accident

The aircraft took off from Xi'an Xianyang International Airport at 8:13 on June 6, 1994. At that time, weather in Xi'an was raining, but it did not delay the flight. After the aircraft left the ground for 24 seconds, the crew reported that the body was floating and had an abnormal sound, but still maintained at a speed of 400 km/h with the rated horsepower.[10] Three minutes after take-off, the plane flew over Xi'an City and turned southeast.[11] After that, the aircraft reported the drift of 20 degrees and 30 degrees at 8:16:24 and 8:16:58. At 8:17:06, the aircraft was not able to maintain its assigned attitude. At that point the aircraft was above Mingyu Township, Cheng'an County, Hebei Province. The crew then engaged the autopilot for a brief amount of time, but could not stabilize the aircraft, which irregularly turned right. At 8:22:27, the stall warning went off, with the aircraft travelling at {{Convert|373|km/h|mph}}. Then it suddenly rolled to the left, the speed reached {{Convert|747|km/h|mph}}, and the altitude dropped from {{Convert|4,717|m|ft}} feet to {{Convert|2,884|m|ft}} in 12 seconds. At 8:22:42, the aircraft disintegrated in mid-air above the suburb of Tsuitou Village, Mingyu Township.[12] All 14 crew members and 146 passengers on board were killed.

Wreckage landed to the southeast of the airport, scattered over {{convert|18|mi|km}} of farmland. The bodies of the victims were all found at 21:00, and most of them were killed by impact.[13]

Investigation

Flawed maintenance of the aircraft was the probable cause of the sequence of events. The previous evening, the autopilot yaw-channel had been erroneously connected to the bank control, and the bank-channel to the yaw controls while undergoing maintenance at an unapproved facility.[14][7][15]

Aftermath

This and the crash of China Southwest Airlines Flight 4509 in 1999, both resulted in China's decision decided to retire the Tupolev Tu-154. All Tu-154's in China were removed from service on October 30th, 2002.[16] China Northwest Airlines was acquired by China Eastern Airlines in 2003. China Eastern Airlines still uses the flight number 2303 for flights from Xi'an to Guangzhou.[17]
