Accident
On the day of the accident, the crew began herbicide spraying operations at 0645 local time in the region of Spassk-Dalni. After completing the mission, they returned to Gayvoron at 1715LT to resupply with 375 kg of pollination products. A second resupply of 900 kg was completed later, and the aircraft took off at 2020LT to spray a wheat field. While flying at a height of 6–7 meters, the pilot-in-command executed a left turn with a bank angle of 45–50 degrees. During the turn, the left low-wing contacted the ground, causing the aircraft to crash and burst into flames. The aircraft was destroyed by fire, and both pilots were killed.
