What happened
During the landing phase at Mirny Airport, an aircraft experienced a mechanical failure upon contact with the runway. As the plane touched down, the right main landing gear collapsed under the weight of the aircraft.
Following this structural failure, the pilot lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer toward the right side of the runway. The aircraft eventually came to a stop after departing the paved surface. Despite the impact and the subsequent excursion from the runway, all six crew members were able to evacuate the plane without sustaining any injuries.
Findings
- The primary event was triggered by the collapse of the right main landing gear during touchdown.
- The aircraft sustained damage that required repair following the incident.
