On April 12, 2019, an EE SV aircraft, registration RA-0352A, was involved in an accident in the Otradnensky District of Russia, near the village of Stolyarov. The aircraft had been transported in a disassembled state from Dugino airfield to the Otradnaya region for the purpose of testing chemical equipment.
Prior to the accident, the pilot-in-command had performed flight tests on April 10, 2019. During these initial flights, the aircraft was operated with various fuel and equipment loads. On April 11, 2019, the crew added approximately 60 liters of water to the chemical tank in preparation for operations.
The accident sequence began when the pilot failed to execute a missed approach and a timely go-around during a landing attempt. This resulted in the aircraft overrunning the landing area at an increased speed. Following the overrun, the pilot decided to attempt a takeoff because the remaining runway length was insufficient to bring the aircraft to a stop.
During the subsequent takeoff attempt, the aircraft was unable to achieve the necessary climb profile. This led to a collision with a tree and the ground. No injuries or fatalities were reported in the incident.
