What happened
The flight was a positioning mission operating between Moscow-Vnukovo and Moscow-Khodynka. Shortly after lifting off from the departure runway, the crew initiated a voluntary engine shutdown to conduct training procedures. When the pilot in command attempted to restart the affected engine and failed, he elected to return to Vnukovo.
During the final approach phase, the aircraft was likely configured incorrectly for landing. This resulted in a long touchdown. Following contact with the runway surface, the captain decided to execute a go-around maneuver. However, the aircraft subsequently lost control and veered off the paved surface. It collided with a stationary Bell P-39Q Airacobra that was parked nearby before finally coming to rest approximately 85 meters further along. Both aircraft were destroyed by fire following the impact.
Findings
All five individuals on board the moving aircraft sustained no injuries. The incident resulted in the total loss of both the operating aircraft and the parked Bell P-39Q Airacobra due to post-collision fires.
