Engine failure and subsequent stall during climb

No fatalities • Kirensk, Russia • Takeoff (climb)

An aircraft experienced an engine failure during its initial climb, leading to a stall and crash that destroyed the plane.

What happened

While performing the initial climb phase of the flight, the aircraft experienced a sudden failure of one of its engines. This loss of power resulted in an aerodynamic stall, causing the aircraft to descend rapidly and impact the ground. Upon impact, the airframe caught fire and was completely destroyed.

Findings

  • The primary sequence of events began with an engine failure during the ascent.
  • The loss of thrust led directly to a loss of airspeed and a subsequent stall.
  • All eight people on board managed to evacuate the wreckage.
  • There were no fatalities reported, though some occupants sustained minor injuries during the emergency evacuation.

Probable cause

The loss of engine power during the climb phase led to an aerodynamic stall and subsequent crash.
