Incident
A crew was conducting a delivery flight from Ukraine to Honduras, with several intermediate stops planned. On approach to Bukhta Provideniya, just after passing the outer marker, the aircraft banked sharply to the left. The left wing struck the ground, and the aircraft crashed in a snow-covered field approximately 2,100 metres short of the runway threshold. All three occupants sustained injuries, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Investigation
The accident investigation determined the probable cause. According to the official findings, the thrust reverser on the left engine inadvertently engaged during the approach due to a mechanical failure. This caused the sudden left bank and subsequent loss of control.
Analysis
No further analysis or conclusions beyond the official findings are provided in the source. The investigation focused on the mechanical failure of the thrust reverser system.
Aftermath
The aircraft was destroyed, and the three injured occupants were likely treated for their injuries. The crash site was in a remote, snow-covered area.
