What: S7 Sibir Airlines Airbus A319-100 en route from Perm to Moscow
Where: Moscow
When: Aug 6th 2010 19:47 Moscow time
Who: 94 passengers
Why: On landing approach, the Airbus hydraulics failed. The pilot managed a safe landing. Smoke from forest fires did not impair visibility.

George’s Point of View

No surprise to me. Details of the hydraulic issue might be of interest.

I recall S7 Airlines Flight 778, an Airbus A310 with 193 passengers and 10 crew members aboard. On landing at Irkutsk , the airbus had a runway overrun. 124 people died when it crashed into the runway barrier.

Where: emergency landing at Domodedovo Airport
When: Thursday, Feb 26th 2009

Why: On takeoff, the plane hit a runway edge light with its inner left main gear tire which resulted in destruction of the inner tire and hydraulics. The flight spent two hours burning fuel and eventually landed at Volgograd.

Is this the same plane described here, as being
“Boeing-747 passenger liner en route from Dubai, the United Arab Emirates to Orenburg.” ?

OR is it the flight described as flying from Volgograd (Russia) to Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt) ?
