What happened
Following the completion of a crop spraying operation in the Kostanay area, an unauthorized individual entered the aircraft. Subsequently, the crew proceeded with a local flight that had not been officially sanctioned. During this period, the aircraft was operating at a relatively low altitude when the crew began performing dangerous maneuvers. These actions resulted in a loss of control, leading the plane to impact an open field.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that all three individuals on board were under the influence of alcohol during the flight. This state of intoxication among the entire crew and passenger was a primary factor in the loss of control and subsequent crash. The incident resulted in three fatalities.
