What happened
On the morning of the accident, a single-pilot operation departed from Morozov at 07:08 local time. The mission involved performing agricultural spraying services for the Rodnik Farm. During the low-altitude cruise phase of the flight, the aircraft's landing gear made contact with a 3-meter high embankment.
This impact caused the aircraft to flip over, resulting in an inverted crash into a nearby drainage ditch. The wreckage was located approximately 4 km south of the village. The impact resulted in the destruction of the aircraft and the death of the pilot, who was the only person on board.
