What happened
During a flight originating from Ulan-Ude and bound for Nizhneangarsk, the flight crew notified air traffic control of a malfunction involving the left engine while descending through 3,050 metres. This occurred approximately 30 km from the destination airport. Despite the engine failure, the flight proceeded with the approach to runway 22.
Upon landing, the crew attempted to use the aircraft's braking systems. During this process, the aircraft type deviated toward the right side of the runway and exited the paved surface. The aircraft traveled across a grassy area, breached the perimeter fence, and collided with a sewage treatment plant structure situated 380 metres to the right of the runway centerline. A fire broke out following the impact, resulting in the total destruction of the plane.
Findings
- The incident involved a left engine failure during the descent phase.
- The aircraft's trajectory led to a collision with a building after veering off the runway.
- The accident resulted in 2 fatalities (the captain and flight engineer) and 11 injuries (one serious injury to the copilot and 10 other occupants).
