What happened
During the course of a crop-spraying operation, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of engine power. In an effort to perform an emergency landing, the pilot maneuvered the plane toward a nearby field; however, during this descent, the aircraft struck electrical power cables.
The impact caused the plane to crash in a field situated approximately 20 km southeast of Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Following the collision, the aircraft caught fire, resulting in its total destruction. The pilot sustained injuries during the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the incident identified that the primary factor leading to the crash was an engine failure occurring during the mission.
