What happened
During an agricultural mission for the Gazimuro-Zavodski sovkhoz, an aircraft engaged in crop-spraying operations experienced a sudden loss of altitude. While executing a left-hand turn at a low altitude, the plane entered a stall. The impact occurred in an open field situated approximately six kilometers west of the Gazimurski Zavod airport.
Following the crash, the aircraft caught fire and was completely destroyed by the flames. The incident resulted in one fatality and one serious injury among the crew members on board.
Findings
While an official determination regarding the exact cause of the accident remains unavailable, investigators considered several potential factors. Possible contributors to the crash include a mechanical engine failure occurring during the final left turn at low altitude, improper maneuvering techniques by the pilot during a sharp turn, or a loss of situational awareness by the flight crew.
