What happened
During a delivery mission originating in Ukraine and destined for Honduras, an aircraft was conducting a flight with multiple scheduled stops. As the crew was performing the approach to Bukhta Provideniya, the aircraft passed the outer marker when it experienced a sudden, sharp left bank. This maneuver caused the left wing to make contact with the terrain. The aircraft subsequently crashed into a field covered in snow, coming to rest approximately 2,100 metres before reaching the runway threshold.
Findings
- The aircraft sustained damage that was classified as beyond repair.
- There were three injuries recorded among the crew members.
- The crash occurred during the approach phase of flight.
