Accident Overview
A training flight conducting local maneuvers at Petrovsk Airport ended in a crash during the final approach. The aircraft, which was operated by an unspecified operator, was carrying five crew members. All five occupants were killed when the airplane crashed inverted near the runway threshold and was consumed by fire.
Sequence of Events
According to the official investigation, the crew was performing a local training mission. On final approach, the instructor simulated a failure of the left engine. Following this simulation, the crew made several errors that led to a loss of speed and altitude. The aircraft descended below the glideslope, struck the ground upside down close to the runway threshold, and subsequently caught fire. The airplane was destroyed by the fire.
Probable Cause
The investigation determined the probable cause of the accident to be crew error and wrong approach configuration.
