On July 26, 2019, a DA 40 NG, registration RA-02635, was involved in an aviation accident in the area of the Novo-Chekurskoye settlement, Ulyanovsk region. The aircraft was being operated by FGBOU VO UI GA for flight training purposes involving a flight instructor and cadets.
Prior to the accident, the crew had completed medical examinations, weather briefings, and pre-flight inspections at the Ulyanovsk (Barataevka) airfield. The flight was part of a scheduled training shift that included route, circular, and aerobatic maneuvers.
During the flight, the instructor attempted to demonstrate a simulated emergency landing outside of the airfield. This maneuver involved descending below the safe altitude required for the task.
While maneuvering in close proximity to the ground, the flight instructor lost control of the aircraft's airspeed. This led to the aircraft reaching critical angles of attack and entering a stall.
