Aeroflot Flight N-63 [1] was a flight which crashed killing 48 people in Ukraine (then in the Soviet Union) in 1971.

It was a scheduled Antonov An-24 flight on 12 November 1971 from Kiev-Zhulhyany Airport in Ukraine to Vinnitsa Airport in Ukraine. The flight proceeded routinely through takeoff and cruise, but started to enter trouble when on final approach due to the bad weather; this included freezing rain with fog and low clouds. The first landing attempt was aborted. The pilots attempted a second approach, but could not land and initiated a go-around. During the go-around, the aircraft went nose-high and stalled before crashing 850 m (2,790 ft) short of the threshold. All 48 passengers and crew on board were killed. [2] The aircraft had been operating for 10,658 flight cycles and had a total of 11,329 flight hours. [3]
