What happened
A cargo transport aircraft, operating a route from China to Moscow with scheduled stops in Khabaryovsk and Tyumen, was involved in an accident during its arrival at Tyumen-Roshchino Airport. The aircraft was carrying a shipment of children's toys and was operated by a crew of four.
During the descent phase toward the airport, the aircraft experienced the loss of both number 3 and number 4 engines. Despite this initial mechanical failure, the crew proceeded with the approach. Approximately seven minutes later, the remaining number 1 and number 2 engines also ceased functioning.
Following the total loss of power, the pilot attempted an emergency landing. The four-engine aircraft subsequently crash landed in a field situated roughly 7 km from the runway. While the four crew members on board managed to exit the wreckage, they sustained minor injuries. The aircraft was determined to be a total loss and was not repaired following the incident.
Findings
The accident was characterized by a progressive total engine failure occurring in two stages during the descent.
