Safety history
- July 6, 1989AccidentHull loss
Shortly after takeoff from Cape Schmidt Airfield, while climbing to a height of 100 meters, both engines lost power and failed. The crew attempted to ditch the aircraft in the Akatan lagoon. The airplane came to rest in 50 cm of water about 200 meters offshore. All nine occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The crew was completing a survey flight over the Chokutka Sea. Probable cause (official findings): Engine failure for unknown reasons.
