==Accidents and incidents== Over its life, the An-10 experienced 15 accidents,<ref name="ASN">{{cite web |last1=Ratner |first1=Harro |title=Aviation Safety Network > ASN Aviation Safety Database > Aircraft type index > Antonov An-10 > Antonov An-10 Statistics |url=https://aviation-safety.net/database/types/Antonov-10/statistics |website=aviation-safety.net |access-date=30 March 2019}}</ref> with 373 fatalities. The An-10 carried more than 35 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of cargo. *On 29 April 1958, an An-10 (CCCP-Л7256) of MAP Voronezh AZ crashed at Pridacha Airport during a test flight following double engine failure, killing one of five crew. Shortly after takeoff, engine number one overheated and failed due to prolonged operation in takeoff mode; the engine control system reduced power to engine number four to avoid asymmetric thrust. Engine number three later overheated and failed and power was reduced to engine number two. With only two engines, the aircraft could not maintain altitude and the crew decided to make a gear-down forced landing in a field, but the aircraft crashed during the attempt.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-L7256|id= 19580429-0|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 16 November 1959, [[Aeroflot Flight 315 (1959)|Aeroflot Flight 315]], an An-10 (CCCP-11167), entered a nosedive and crashed near Snilow Airport due to tail icing, killing all 40 on board. It was found that the An-10 was vulnerable in icing conditions.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ranter |first=Harro |title=ASN Aircraft accident Antonov An-10 CCCP-11167 Lviv-Snilow Airport (LWO) |url=https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19591116-0 |access-date=2022-06-04 |website=aviation-safety.net}}</ref> *On 26 February 1960, [[Aeroflot Flight 315 (1960)|Aeroflot Flight 315]], an An-10A (CCCP-11180), entered a nosedive while on approach to Snilow Airport due to tail icing. Although the crew were able to regain control, the aircraft went into another nosedive and crashed, killing 32 of 33 on board. In the wake of this accident and the crash of An-10 CCCP-11167 in 1959, ice protection systems for the stabilizer were improved and pilots could not select more than 15 degrees of flaps in known icing conditions.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ranter |first=Harro |title=ASN Aircraft accident Antonov An-10A CCCP-11180 Lviv-Snilow Airport (LWO) |url=https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19600226-1 |access-date=2022-06-04 |website=aviation-safety.net}}</ref> *On 27 January 1962, an Aeroflot An-10 (CCCP-11148) crashed near Baratayevka Airport during a test flight after the number four propeller reversed, killing 13 of 14 on board.<ref>{{ASN accident|title=CCCP-11148 |id= 19620127-0|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 28 July 1962, [[Aeroflot Flight 415]], an An-10A (CCCP-11186), struck a mountain 13 mi southeast of Adler/Sochi Airport while on approach due to ATC errors, killing all 81 on board.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ranter |first=Harro |title=ASN Aircraft accident Antonov An-10A CCCP-11186 Adler/Sochi Airport (AER) |url=https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19620728-0 |access-date=2022-06-04 |website=aviation-safety.net}}</ref> *On 8 February 1963, an Aeroflot An-10A (CCCP-11193) stalled and crashed near [[Syktyvkar]] during a training flight following triple engine failure due to ice ingestion, killing the seven crew.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11193|id= 19630208-1|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 8 August 1968, an Aeroflot An-10A (CCCP-11172) crashed on landing at Mirny Airport after the left main landing gear fell off while the landing gear was lowered; there were no casualties.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11172|id= 19680808-0|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 12 October 1969, an Aeroflot An-10 (CCCP-11169) ran into a trench after landing on a snow-covered runway at Mirny Airport; no casualties.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11169|id= 19691012-0|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 15 May 1970, an Aeroflot An-10 (CCCP-11149) lost control and crashed at Kishinev (now [[Chișinău]]) while performing a two-engined go-around during a training flight, killing the 11 crew.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11149|id= 19700515-1|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 8 August 1970, Aeroflot Flight 888, an An-10A (CCCP-11188), force-landed in a field 24 mi north of Kishinev Airport following an in-flight fire caused by an uncontained engine failure, killing one of 114 on board.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11188|id= 19700808-1|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 31 March 1971, [[Aeroflot Flight 1969]], an An-10 (CCCP-11145), crashed on approach to Voroshilovgrad (now [[Luhansk]]) following an unexplained wing separation, killing all 65 on board.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ranter |first=Harro |title=ASN Aircraft accident Antonov An-10 CCCP-11145 Voroshilovgrad Airport (VSG) |url=https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19710331-3 |access-date=2022-06-04 |website=aviation-safety.net}}</ref> *On 12 October 1971, an Aeroflot An-10 (CCCP-11137), suffered landing gear collapse on landing at Kishinev; no casualties.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11137|id= 19711012-1|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *In February 1972, an Aeroflot An-10 (CCCP-11142) burned out in a fire at ARZ-412 at Rostov Airport.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11142|id= 19720299-1|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 30 April 1972, an Aeroflot An-10 (CCCP-11159) suffered severe damage after a heavy landing at Vnukovo Airport; no casualties.<ref>{{ASN accident|title= CCCP-11159|id= 19720430-0|accessdate=24 August 2021}}</ref> *On 18 May 1972, [[Aeroflot Flight 1491]], an An-10A (CCCP-11215), crashed on approach to Kharkov Airport after both wings separated due to fatigue failure in the center wing panel, killing all 122 on board.
