What happened
During a takeoff roll on runway 16/34, the aircraft experienced a significant deviation to the left once it reached a speed of 150 km/h. In an attempt to correct this directional drift, the pilot utilized the nosewheel steering system. This maneuver resulted in the bursting of the right front tire. As the aircraft accelerated to 250 km/h, the crew attempted to abort the takeoff, but the procedure was initiated too late to prevent an excursion.
The aircraft was unable to decelerate within the 2,530-meter length of the runway. Consequently, the aircraft overran the paved surface, causing the nose gear to separate from the airframe. The aircraft continued to slide for a distance of 577 meters before finally coming to a stop. Although the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, all 11 occupants managed to exit the wreckage without any injuries.
Findings
Prior to the incident, the aircraft had undergone significant maintenance work over the preceding two months, which specifically included the replacement of the rudder actuators. Because technical issues with these actuators had persisted during the most recent flight, a plan had been established to perform necessary adjustments and then proceed with a flight to Salekhard. The bursting of the right front tire following steering corrections was the primary factor leading to the loss of directional control and the subsequent runway overrun.
