The 737 remained on the runway after coming to a halt and was later towed away to the main ramp. Wind velocities of 25 - 35 knots prevailed at the time. Before making the 3rd landing attempt, the pilots elected to divert to the alternate Abu Dhabi Airport but eventually made a computing error in the FMS systems resulting in a faulty fuel indication which lead the pilots to believe they were unable to reach Abu Dhabi. Despite having a real amount of 4,7 tons of kerozene on board, the pilots unnesseccarily became focused to land at Salalah, media reports indicate. The 3rd approach was carried out in the Autoland Mode, but local wind speeds were beyond of the maximum limitations and the approach was aborted again. The 737 then landed on the 4th attempt.

All passengers and crewmembers safely disembarked via inflated slides. It is understood that no person on board was injured in the event. Earlier on approach, the pilots reported diffculties lowering the undercarriage. The flight entered a holding pattern south of the airport to solve the problem but the pilots did not succeed.

The pilots then expressed their intention to return to Magadan. The An-12 was found crashed in rugged, mountainous northwest of the town of Omsukchan. There were no survivors. Due to the inaccessability of the crash site by ground, vehicles were only able to reach the site the following day. Bad weather and low visibility also delayed search and rescue operations. The aircraft was carrying 17 tons of food supplies. The flight made a refuelling stop at Magadan. Initial finding from the wracke examination, apparently supported the theory the aircraft may have suffered an inflight fuel leak which my have lead to an explosion. The last major overhaul for the aircraft was carried ot only 2 weeks before the crash in a facility at at Rostov. On Aug.10 according to an instruction by the Russian Transport Agency Rostransnadzor, all An-12 aircraft were subject of a countrywide ban. The Agency further states that Avis-Amur Airline has been issued a warning about safety shortcomings in may 2011. NOTE: For Russia this accident marks the 6th hull loss event in the current year.

Despite the detection and reporting of a hard landing, the aircraft was declared okay for the return flight to France. Immediately after take-off - as a result of the previous landing incident - the pilots (on flight AF 471) experienced problems raising the undercarriage and elected therefore to discontinue the flight. The A330 safely returned to land at Caracas again. An more intense inspection showed structural damage and cracks were found in a gear leg. A longer maintenance is expected.
