What happened
During a forest survey mission, an aircraft traveling from Chita to Tungokochen experienced a fatal accident following a stop in Usugli. The flight, which included three crew members, required an extended takeoff roll of approximately 400 meters to become airborne from the Usugli airfield.
Shortly after departing the ground, while the aircraft had reached an altitude of roughly 100 meters, the pilot attempted a left-hand turn. During this maneuver, the aircraft entered a stall and subsequently impacted a swamp. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft and caused three injuries among the crew members on board.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced a stall during the initial climb phase.
- The accident occurred while the crew was performing a specialized forest survey mission.
