Accident Description
On a flight from Tselinograd (now Astana) to Karaganda, the aircraft experienced an elevator control failure after touchdown. The same control issue had already caused problems during the flight. Following the failure, the aircraft lifted off again and climbed to a height of approximately 10 to 15 meters. During the climb, the aircraft banked left to an angle of 60 degrees. Due to the critical angle of attack, the airplane stalled and subsequently crashed in flames onto the runway.
Occupant Casualties
Two crew members and seven passengers were killed, while all other 25 occupants on board were seriously injured.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause to be an elevator control failure for an undetermined reason.
