What happened
A short-duration flight, lasting approximately 10 minutes, was being conducted between the two airports located in Anadyr. The aircraft, which was carrying a total weight of 880 kilograms, included two crew members and two passengers along with various cargo. During the initial climb phase, specifically at an altitude of roughly 40 meters, the plane experienced a stall from the rear portion of the aircraft. This led to a crash that resulted in the destruction of the airframe. All four occupants sustained injuries during the impact.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that the cargo within the cabin was not adequately secured before departure. As the aircraft reached rotation speed, the shifting weight of the freight caused it to slide toward the rear of the plane. This movement resulted in a center of gravity shift outside of the safe operating limits, making the aircraft impossible to control.
