Airbus A380 Near CFIT

On 10 September 2017, an Airbus A380 on a scheduled international passenger flight from Dubai to Moscow Domodedovo failed to establish on the ILS LLZ for runway 14R in day VMC before continuing descent below its cleared altitude. When the ATC noticed this, they instructed it to stop descent but when the initiation of a go around was delayed, an EGPWS ‘PULL UP’ Warning followed during which a minimum of 395 feet agl was reached. A second approach was discontinued from a safe altitude and a third was subsequently completed successfully.
