What happened
During the early morning hours, a flight involving an Antonov AN-2 was initiated by a pilot traveling toward Aktobe. Shortly after the aircraft rotated and reached an altitude of approximately 20 meters, it entered a steep left bank at an angle between 50 and 60 degrees. This maneuver caused the aircraft to descend rapidly into the ground, resulting in a crash in the vicinity of the airport terminal.
The impact led to the total destruction of the Antonov AN-2 and resulted in one fatality, which was the pilot.
Findings
Investigations revealed that the pilot was operating the aircraft while under the influence of alcohol. Prior to the incident, the pilot had been dismissed from his position one month earlier at his own request. The investigation concluded that the crash was driven by the pilot's state of intoxication, which significantly impaired his ability to control the aircraft during the initial climb.
