What happened
During a routine agricultural operation in Sakhanka, an aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power while performing crop spraying duties. The incident occurred while the crew was operating at a low altitude.
Following the engine failure, the flight crew attempted to execute an emergency landing procedure. During this maneuver, the aircraft struck a fence and subsequently collided with several trees. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. Both members of the crew sustained serious injuries during the crash.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified that the primary factor was an engine failure occurring during the low-altitude flight phase, though the specific underlying reason for the mechanical malfunction remains undetermined.
