What happened
During an aerial photography mission, the aircraft experienced a loss of engine power. In response to the failure, the crew initiated an emergency descent to lower the altitude of the aircraft. During this maneuver, the plane struck a group of trees before impacting a field, where the wreckage eventually came to rest in an inverted position.
Search teams located the debris approximately 50 km from Osinovy Mys one day after the incident occurred. The impact resulted in four injuries among the occupants of the aircraft.
Findings
- The primary cause of the accident was an engine failure during the mission.
- The aircraft's descent into the trees occurred while the crew was attempting to manage the loss of power.
