Investigation

The investigation commission identified two main causes of the incident. The first was the repeated disregard by the crew of wind shear warnings, leading to landing at a great distance and at an increased speed.

From the captain's explanation:
"The erroneous decision to land was made due to an emotional state: I simply didn't hear the wind shear alarm; my body disregarded it as background noise (during the first approach, it worked so loudly and for so long that it interfered with my work and, thus, turned from a danger warning system into unwanted noise)."

The second reason was the landing on a runway whose average coefficient of friction was calculated to be less than 0.3 due to water, which did not allow landing according to the current regulations.

Among the contributing factors were: the use of autopilot and autothrottle in wind shear conditions, late deployment of reverse thrust, inadequate preparation and psychoemotional state of the crew members, insufficient preventive work in the airline following previous cases of crews' untimely response to wind shear warnings, as well as non-compliance by the airport service with requirements for checking the condition of the runway after precipitation.
