What happened
A cargo operation traveling from Salekhard to Tarko-Sale ended in a fatal accident during the initial climb phase. The aircraft was transporting 11 tons of cement and was operated by a crew of six individuals. During the takeoff roll, the plane reached rotation speed after traveling a distance of 1,250 meters.
Shortly after leaving the ground, the aircraft transitioned into an extreme nose-high attitude, reaching an angle of attack of 20 degrees. This was followed by a right-hand bank. Approximately one minute after liftoff, the plane impacted a field situated 1,800 meters beyond the runway threshold. The accident resulted in five fatalities and left one crew member as the sole survivor.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified that the flight crew did not adhere to established pre-takeoff procedures or complete the necessary checklists. A critical factor in the crash was that the takeoff maneuver was performed with the flaps in a retracted position, which led to an aerodynamic stall following rotation.
