2 fatalities • Koryaki, Russia • Takeoff (climb)

What happened

The aircraft, a single-engine airplane, was transporting a shipment of roof tiles and potatoes at the time of the incident. During the initial climb phase, the aircraft reached a critical angle of attack, which led to an aerodynamic stall.

Following the stall, the plane descended into a forested region approximately one kilometer from the village of Koryaki. The impact was followed by a significant post-crash fire that consumed the wreckage. There were two fatalities among the crew, as both pilots were killed in the accident. The aircraft was completely destroyed by the subsequent flames.
