What happened
During a routine agricultural mission in Sakhanka, an aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power. While performing crop spraying operations at a low altitude, the engine failed, leaving the crew with limited options for recovery.
In an attempt to perform an emergency landing following the loss of propulsion, the aircraft struck a fence. The momentum of the impact caused the plane to continue forward until it collided with a group of trees. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. Both members of the crew sustained serious injuries during the accident.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was an engine failure occurring during the low-altitude flight phase.
