Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243: Shot Down Over Grozny

Fear of Landing

The flight crew requested an NDB approach to Grozny and were cleared for approach to runway 26. The unofficial transcript also has no reference to the controller referring to closed airspace or NOTAMs for the area. However, the flight crew were unable to land due to the thick fog.
