Pilot Error Found in Crash That Killed Russian Hockey Players
MOSCOW — Russian air safety officials said Wednesday that a September plane crash that killed an elite hockey team was caused by an extraordinarily basic human error: One of the pilots accidentally pressed the brake pedals during takeoff, so that the aircraft was unable to gain altitude.

I don't think the flight engineer waited six seconds to apply full power. On jets it can take up to 5 seconds after the power levers are moved forward to attain full power from flight idle. The biggest thing I take from this accident is lack of CRM as mentioned by flyingcookmosnter. Just from reading the article and watching the video it doesn't seem that there was any kind of brief on takeoff procedures, meaning what situations would cause the takeoff to be aborted as well as the point in the takeoff would be continued (V1). As any pilot who has flown in a multi-crew environment will tell you, communication and understanding is key to a safe flight. At the airline I work for both the Captain and FO know what situations will cause the T/O to be aborted and at what point it will be continued, but even then we still brief the procedures on the first flight of every day and anytime we fly with a new crewmember during a day.
The truth (final outcome) will be what the Russians want it to be more than likely. Yea, you would think after 600 hours you would know where the brakes are.
There is less here than in the other article posted, although being rushed into takeoff is mentioned here. The board says lack of training on one hand but says over 600 hours per each pilot in type on the other hand. Oh Well,it crashed for some reason; all but 1 died and he ain't talking and I guess that what we see is what we get.
Seems after reading it that the pilots were to blame as who pulls back with that much force on the controls at that speed? You do not as all you will do is pull the nose up resulting in a loss of speed and no climb. Looks straight forward to me as the recordings of the cockpit say volumes about no one in command along with the flight engineer not doing what he was supposed to do, never was told to pull the power and after he did didnt apply full power until six seconds later.
typical NYTimes reporting...using a sensational line like the pilot pressing the brake pedals during take-off. Seems to be a lot of confusion in the cockpit regarding aborting or not. Pressing of the brake pedal, plus reduction in power, plus conflicting inputs on the control stick all appear to be part of the confusion. Not simply pushing the brake pedal.
How come the mechanic's name or anything about him or what he saw is not mentioned here? The Iron Bear that's why....
