What happened
Following departure from the Baykit airport, the aircraft's single engine experienced significant performance issues while attempting to climb. The engine subsequently lost power during the initial climb phase. In an effort to reach the runway again, the crew attempted a return to the airport; however, the loss of propulsion necessitated an emergency landing in an open field situated a few hundred meters beyond the end of the runway.
While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, all three occupants managed to exit the wreckage. The individuals involved sustained only minor injuries during the impact.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that the aircraft was operating in an overloaded condition. Discrepancies were found in the weight and balance documentation, which listed a weight of 1,000 kilograms instead of the actual 1,300 kilograms. Consequently, the total weight of the plane exceeded its maximum takeoff weight by 240 kilograms. Furthermore, the center of gravity was positioned significantly behind the permitted aft limit.
