What happened
The incident occurred following a routine flight from Nizhneudinsk to Alygdzher. After landing, the pilot remained on the ground for an extended period with friends and consumed alcohol. While preparing for the return journey, individuals present advised the pilot to delay the departure until the next day due to his condition. However, the pilot insisted on completing the flight that same day.
Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft performed several maneuvers before climbing to an altitude of 1,600 metres. Despite good weather conditions, the plane struck trees and crashed into a wooded, hilly area. The impact caused the aircraft to burst into flames. As a result of the accident, two occupants were killed and one passenger sustained injuries.
Findings
The official investigation concluded that the primary factor in the accident was the pilot's judgment. Specifically, the decision to initiate the flight while in an intoxicated state was identified as the cause.
