What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Rybinsk-Yuzhny Airport, the flight crew identified technical difficulties involving the engines. In response to these engine problems, the crew decided to perform an emergency landing.
During the descent, the aircraft struck trees and came to rest in a forested area covered in snow, situated approximately 2 km from the airfield. While the impact caused the aircraft to be damaged beyond repair, all 14 people on board were able to evacuate the wreckage without life-threatening injuries. One individual, a skydiver present on the flight, sustained a minor injury during the event but declined medical transport to a hospital.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the crash was engine problems encountered immediately after takeoff.
