What happened
During a mission for the State farm of 'Potmancinsky' in the vicinity of Nizhny Lomov, the crew was tasked with agricultural spraying operations. Following the completion of their professional duties, the crew members organized a social gathering to celebrate the co-pilot's birthday. This event included a dinner attended by a local farmer and involved the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
After the festivities, the crew decided to conduct an unauthorized flight for local sightseeing purposes. While operating at a very low altitude during dusk, the aircraft collided with an obstacle, resulting in a crash. The incident resulted in three injuries among the occupants of the aircraft.
