Fatal Night Flight Accident Involving Unauthorized Passengers and Intoxicated Crew (CCCP-29310)

Operational Context and Flight Details The crew was responsible for controlling gas compression stations numbered 10, 11, and 12 in the Shalkar region. In the afternoon, the crew consumed alcohol before taking off at 1745 local time. The aircraft carried two unauthorized passengers, a newly married couple, at departure. Shortly after takeoff, the crew made a brief stop to pick up three additional unauthorized passengers who had been invited to a wedding party. ## Flight Conditions and Crash Sequence The flight continued at an altitude of 100 to 150 meters. Visibility was poor due to night conditions, mist, and light rain. At the destination, several cars were parked with their lights on to help guide the aircraft to the landing area. The crew was unable to precisely locate the landing area and decided to execute a go-around. At a relatively low altitude, the aircraft entered a nose-down attitude, then banked right to an angle of 60 degrees. It crashed at a speed of 200 km/h into a field. ## Casualties and Aircraft Damage Upon impact, all seven occupants were ejected from the aircraft. Some of the occupants were found 136 meters from the point of impact. The aircraft was destroyed, and all seven occupants were killed.
