Engine failure and stall lead to emergency landing and aircraft fire

No fatalities • Astrakhan-Narimanovo, Russia • Takeoff (climb)

An aircraft experienced an engine failure during its initial climb, resulting in a stall and subsequent crash in an open field.

What happened

During the initial climb phase following takeoff, the aircraft experienced a sudden failure of one of its engines. In response to the loss of power, the crew attempted to perform an emergency landing. However, during this maneuver, the aircraft entered a stall condition.

The plane subsequently crashed into an open field, where a post-crash fire broke out. The impact and subsequent flames resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft.

Despite the severity of the accident, all 12 occupants were able to evacuate the wreckage. There were 0 fatalities and 0 injuries reported among the passengers and crew following the incident.

Findings

  • The primary sequence of events began with an engine failure during the climb.
  • The loss of engine performance contributed to an aerodynamic stall during the emergency descent.

Probable cause

An engine failure during the initial climb led to an aerodynamic stall during an attempted emergency landing.
