What happened
During a flight departing from an airfield situated approximately 3 km from Marianivka, west of Odessa, an aircraft experienced a critical mechanical failure. While the aircraft was ascending to an altitude of roughly 150 metres, the engine ceased to function properly.
In response to the loss of power, the crew initiated procedures for an emergency landing. However, during this maneuver, the aircraft entered a stall and impacted the ground. The impact was followed by a post-crash fire that consumed the airframe.
Findings
- The incident resulted in two injuries among the occupants.
- The aircraft was completely destroyed by the subsequent fire.
- The primary factor leading to the crash was the engine failure during the climb phase.
