Incident Overview
On final approach to Vorkuta Airport, the flight crew encountered poor weather conditions. In low visibility, the aircraft descended too low and struck the ground a few dozen yards short of the runway threshold. The aircraft was subsequently written off, but all five crew members aboard were evacuated without reported injuries.
Investigation Findings
The official investigation determined that the probable cause was a wrong altimeter setting on the part of the flying crew, who had received an incorrect atmospheric pressure value from the ground. This error caused the aircraft to be too low on approach in poor weather conditions.
Aftermath
The aircraft sustained substantial damage and was considered a total loss. Emergency services responded, and the crew successfully exited the aircraft. No other details regarding the aircraft type or registration were provided in the source.
