What happened
During an agricultural mission involving crop spraying, an aircraft experienced a sudden loss of engine power while operating in the vicinity of Genichesk, situated along the coast of the Azov Sea. Following the mechanical failure, the crew attempted to execute an emergency landing within an open field to mitigate the risk of a more severe impact.
Although the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, the two occupants of the aircraft escaped the incident without any injuries. The landing took place in a field, preventing further complications during the descent phase.
Findings
- The primary factor leading to the emergency landing was a failure of the engine during the flight operations.
