. The aircraft slid down the runway, veered to the left and came to a standstill on the grass between two runway-adjoining taxiways with the nose facing upwind at 15:30 UTC. Power to the engines was cut at 15:31 UTC. Flight recorder data suggest that control over the engines had been lost after the final impact. An evacuation was carried out from the front passenger doors and their slides were deployed. The first officer used the escape rope to climb out of the right cockpit window. Aeroflot claimed the evacuation took 55 seconds, though video evidence shows the slides still in use 70 seconds after their deployment. Passengers were seen carrying hand luggage out of the aircraft. The rear half of the aircraft was destroyed by the fire, which was extinguished about 45 minutes after landing.

reported IAC expert Vladimir Kofman was attending the Transport Security Forum where he said that "the disaster occurred because of hehard touchdowns". His comment evoked a sharp response from Aeroflot and the IAC issued a six-point press release distancing itself from Kofman. The IAC said they would be conducting an internal investigation and that Kofman was not part of the Flight 1492 investigation. The IAC asked news media to provide video or audio evidence of "published statements made by Kofman". The IAC said they continued to analyse data from the accident and that they were preparing for the 5 June release of the preliminary report, concluding, "in this regard, neither IAC nor other persons currently can not have reliable information about the establishment by the Investigation team of the causes of the fatal accident".

Interim report

On 14 June 2019, the IAC published their interim report, presenting a detailed reconstruction of the accident, but did not draw any conclusions. The pilots did not request active storm avoidance from air traffic control. However, they entered the second segment of the departure, initiating a right turn away from the storm earlier than prescribed. The pilot flying had difficulty maintaining altitude in manual flight during an orbiting manoeuvre in a 40-degree bank and deviated by more than from his assigned altitude, triggering multiple aural alerts. The crew omitted to perform the approach briefing and the approach checklist, and did not set the go-around altitude. The aircraft deviated below the glideslope descending through AGL and the pilot increased engine thrust; the aircraft accelerated to above its required approach speed. During landing, sidestick inputs were "of an abrupt and intermittent character", including wide-amplitude, sweeping pitch movements not observed during approaches in normal flight law, but similar to other Aeroflot pilots' direct flight law approaches. The report also noted that the pilots ignored a windshear warning that would have required a go-around unless it was spurious. Investigators found traces of lightning impact on antennae, various sensors, exit lights and the cockpit windows. Investigators re-examined the design of the landing gear and found that it met certification requirements. The report cited a material provided by

claiming that contemporary certification requirements did not consider the effect of "secondary impacts of the airframe on the ground after the destruction of the landing gear". The interim report did not look into the survival factors of the accident, citing that they were still being analyzed and would be included in the final report. In May 2022, in a status update marking the third anniversary of the accident, the IAC noted that it expected to issue the draft final report shortly.

Final report

The final report, issued in March 2025, found no design flaws that would prohibit operation. Investigators concluded that the hard landing was due to human factors, namely the captain's difficulty controlling the aircraft in direct flight control law mode. Notwithstanding, the inquiry recommended a review of the landing gear design and of the possibility of restoring normal flight control law, as well as an analysis of crew workload faced with multiple failure messages. Additional crew training on piloting issues in direct law was also advised.

Criminal proceedings

A criminal investigation was opened into a fatal "violation of the rules of safe movement and exploitation of air transport". The Investigative Committee said on 6 May 2019 it was considering insufficient skill of the pilots, dispatchers and those who performed the technical inspection of the plane, along with mechanical problems and poor weather, as a possible cause of the accident. A high-ranking law enforcement source told

that experts would examine the actions of Sheremetyevo's fire and rescue service. The source said air traffic control were late with raising the alarm and fire engines had not left the fire station at the time of the accident. Only two of the six available engines were involved within the first six minutes and they were not filled with foam, which is more effective against a fuel-fed fire than water. Investigators filed charges against the captain in October 2019, seeking a seven-year prison term. According to a spokeswoman for the Russian Investigative Committee, his actions "violated the existing regulations and led to the destruction and outbreak of fire". On 20 June 2023, the court sentenced the captain Denis Yevdokimov to 6 years in a colony-settlement. His lawyer said that the defence was dissatisfied with the verdict and planned to study it and then appeal.

Aftermath

Evacuation with luggage

, prompted by video footage showing passengers leaving the plane with luggage in hand. According to

, citing a law enforcement source, the majority of passengers in the tail end of the aircraft had practically no chance of rescue; many of them did not have time to unfasten their seat belts. He added that those passengers from the tail section of the aircraft who managed to escape had moved to the front of the aircraft before it stopped, and that he had no confirmation that retrieval of luggage had slowed the evacuation. Speculation that the observed retrieval of luggage caused an evacuation delay was rejected by one anonymous witness.

Response from Aeroflot

On 6 May 2019, Aeroflot announced that it would compensate surviving passengers and the families of the dead. Passengers who did not require hospitalization were to receive 1,000,000 rubles (US$15,320), passengers who were hospitalized were to receive 2,000,000 rubles ($30,640), and the families of the dead were to receive 5,000,000 rubles ($76,600). Following the release of the accident summary by Rosaviatsiya on 17 May, it was reported in the media that the pilots had failed to set some of the surfaces of the wing – variously referred to as the "flaps", "brakes" and "air brakes" in news reports – for landing. On the same day, Aeroflot issued a statement in which it denied the pilots had violated company procedures. Aeroflot said the flaps were properly configured for landing and that the spoilers should be extended manually only when

is applied and the aircraft has settled on the runway. The airline said preliminary information by Rosaviatsiya is not evidence of
