Aeroflot Flight 1802 was a scheduled domestic flight operated by Aeroflot, the Soviet airline, using an Ilyushin Il-18 aircraft. It took off from Kyiv, Ukraine, and was destined for a city within the Soviet Union. Shortly after takeoff, the flight encountered severe weather, including poor visibility and turbulence, which posed significant challenges for the flight crew. Despite their efforts to navigate through the adverse conditions, the aircraft ultimately lost control and crashed near Viktorivka, located in the Chernihiv Raion of Chernihiv Oblast. Upon impact, all 52 individuals on board, including passengers and crew members, were killed instantly. Emergency services were dispatched to the crash site, but recovery efforts were hampered by the dense forest terrain and inclement weather conditions. Investigations following the accident focused on the aircraft's technical status and crew decisions. The crash underscored the importance of improved safety protocols during adverse weather conditions in aviation, which led to modifications in operational procedures and training within Aeroflot and other airlines operating in similar regions. This tragic incident remains a significant event in the annals of Soviet aviation history.
