Russian carrier Kamchatka Aviation Enterprise has disclosed that the captain of the Antonov An-26 which crashed at Palana had logged almost 2,900h on type including 746h in command.
He had joined the airline as a first officer in 2013, says flight operations director Sergei Gorb, flying as a captain for the past two years.
Gorb says the first officer was “relatively young” but had still accumulated nearly 1,100h on the An-26 out of 1,253h in total.
He points out that the crew members had flown together “for a long time”, resulting in a “well co-ordinated team of specialists who understood each other” and had flown the Palana route “many times”.

MOSCOW – A plane carrying 28 people crashed Tuesday, apparently as it came in for a landing in bad weather in Russia s Far East, and everyone aboard was feared dead.
Wreckage from the An-26 was found on a coastal cliffside and in the sea near the airport in the town of Palana, according to officials. The plane was on approach for a landing in fog and clouds when it missed a scheduled communication and disappeared from radar, officials from the Kamchatka region said.
