Accident Sequence
The aircraft was on a cargo flight from Krasnoyarsk to Bajkit with an intermediate stop in Yeniseysk. It carried six passengers, six crew members, and a load of 3,700 kg of oranges. During the final approach at night, the captain realized the altitude was insufficient and decided to initiate a go-around. He increased power on both engines, but the aircraft followed a wrong path with an insufficient rate of climb. At a speed of 232 km/h, the airplane struck tree tops, stalled, and crashed 310 meters further on the slope of a wooded hill 410 meters high. The crash site was located about 1,700 meters past the end of runway 06.
Casualties
A crew member and three passengers were killed in the accident. Eight other occupants sustained injuries.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined that the probable cause was the captain's failure to follow published procedures related to a go-around maneuver, resulting in a too-low rate of climb and a wrong path. Poor flight preparation was considered as a contributing factor, along with the fact that the captain was flying to Bajkit for the first time.
