What happened
While operating in transit, the aircraft encountered a bird strike that resulted in an avian object becoming lodged within the engine air intake. This ingestion caused the immediate failure of the engine. In response to the loss of power, the crew initiated procedures for an emergency landing.
During the descent and attempt to land, the aircraft impacted a pasture. Although the impact was significant enough to render the aircraft a total loss, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board. The incident took place in the vicinity of Alisovo.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the engine malfunction was the ingestion of a bird into the air intake system.
