What happened
During an ascent following departure from the Chusovskoy Airstrip, a single-engine aircraft struck a tree. The collision occurred while the plane was in its initial climb phase. The impact caused the aircraft to crash onto the ground.
Despite the severity of the impact, all 14 occupants on board managed to exit the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. While there were no casualties, the aircraft sustained damage so extensive that it was declared a total loss and rendered beyond repair.
Findings
- The accident occurred during the early stages of flight immediately after takeoff.
- A collision with an obstacle (a tree) led to the ground impact.
