Accident
An aircraft crashed in a wooded area approximately 5 km north of Vinnitsa Airport, near the village of Stadnytsya. The accident occurred during a third landing attempt after two previous approaches were abandoned.
Approach and Landing Attempts
While on approach to Vinnitsa Airport, the flight crew encountered low visibility due to poor weather conditions. On final approach, the pilot-in-command descended to the minimum descent altitude (MDA). Unable to establish visual contact with the runway, the pilot initiated a go-around procedure. A second landing attempt was also abandoned a few minutes later.
During the third attempt, the aircraft descended too low. The right engine struck trees, causing the aircraft to stall. It then crashed in the wooded area.
Fatalities
All nine occupants on board were killed in the accident.
