What happened
After completing agricultural spraying tasks for the 'Runo' state farm located in Novopokrovskaya, the pilot embarked on a local flight. This mission was conducted without authorization and included two additional passengers who were not permitted to be on board.
During the flight, while maintaining an altitude of approximately 20 to 25 meters, the pilot attempted a sharp turn to the left. During this maneuver, the aircraft became uncontrollable and struck a wooded area. The impact resulted in two fatalities among the passengers, while the pilot sustained serious injuries. The aircraft was completely destroyed during the crash.
Findings
Investigations into the accident highlighted several critical factors. It was determined that the pilot lacked the necessary experience required for such a mission. Furthermore, the decision to operate the flight without a co-pilot and with unauthorized passengers contributed significantly to the circumstances of the accident.
