What happened
During a routine agricultural spraying operation, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of engine power. In an attempt to perform an emergency landing following the engine failure, the pilot maneuvered the aircraft toward a field. During this descent, the plane struck overhead power cables.
The impact caused the aircraft to crash into a field situated approximately 20 km southeast of Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Upon impact, the aircraft caught fire, resulting in the total destruction of the airframe. The pilot sustained injuries during the accident.
Findings
- The primary sequence of events began with an engine failure during the mission.
- The collision with electrical infrastructure occurred during the emergency descent phase.
