The aircraft took off from Guryev Airport. During the climb to 900 meters, the right engine experienced a loss of power and flamed out. The crew responded by shutting down the engine and feathering the propeller. They completed a circuit and returned to the airport.

After crashing, the aircraft slid for 418 meters before coming to rest approximately 6 kilometers from Guryev Airport.

All 51 occupants evacuated safely. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable Cause
According to the official investigation, the probable cause of the accident was failure of the right engine during initial climb for unknown reasons. Icing conditions were considered as a contributing factor.
