On 7 September 2010 , Alrosa Mirny Air Enterprise Flight 514 , operated by Tupolev Tu-154M RA-85684 , suffered a complete loss of electrical systems in flight . A successful emergency landing was carried out at Izhma but the aircraft overran the runway and was subsequently declared a write-off . All 81 passengers and crew escaped uninjured . Having the damages repaired ( including the replacement of two engines ) , on 24 March 2011 , RA-85684 took off from Izhma airport and flew to the Ukhta airport for a safe landing , and further to Samara for technical inspection . The flight produced a " good landing " , according to Chuck Yeager 's criteria : " If you can walk away from a landing , it 's a good landing . If you use the airplane the next day , it 's an outstanding landing . " Success was due , in part , to diligence by Airport Supervisor Sergey Sotnikov to keep the landing strip free of trees and bushes even after the airport was closed to traffic in 2003 . Sotnikov was later decorated by the President of Russia
