Submission declined on 7 August 2024 by CFA (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by CFA 39 days ago. |

Accident
During approach, the air traffic control had not been given the current weather report, despite this, the controller told the Yak-40 the previous weather report although the weather had deteriorated.
