Antonov AN-2

On the leg from Novokuznetsk to Tashtagol of a flight from Kemerovo to Tashtagol, the crew encountered below minima weather conditions with low clouds and rain/snow falls. The crew decided to continue and deviated from the prescribed flight path to the left by 8 km when the airplane crashed at a height of 1,050 metres into the wooded slope of the cloud covered Mt Pustag (1,570 metres high) located some 25 km north of Tashtagol. All three crew members including a check pilot and both passengers were killed.

After takeoff from Krasnogvardeyskiy in strong winds, the single engine airplane encountered difficulties to gain height. It struck a high power transmission tower and crashed, bursting into flames. A passenger was seriously injured while four other occupants were killed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances about 45 km west of Laguna de Perlas. The wreckage was found February 19, 1982 and all seven occupants were killed. The date of the mishap is unconfirmed.

Following several crop spraying flights that day, the pilot and one passenger departed the State farm of Magnaisky on a short flight to the State farm of Pobeda, both located in the suburb of Kostanay. On approach, the pilot made a sharp turn to the left at low height. The airplane rolled to the left at an angle of 45°, causing the left wing to struck the ground and the aircraft to crash. Both occupants were uninjured.

The crew departed Bodaybo on a positioning flight to Kedrovy with an intermediate stop in Perevoz, on behalf of a geological mission. The approach was completed with a tailwind and the airplane landed too far down the landing area, about 80 meters from the 'runway' end. Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the airplane overran then collided with a dirt bank, bursting into flames. Both pilots escaped uninjured while the aircraft was totally destroyed by fire.

The pilot initiated a local flight without permission and while flying at an insufficient altitude, the airplane crashed. The pilot was injured.

Three pilots and a passenger departed Shelopugino at 1807LT on an unauthorized local flight. After takeoff, the pilot-in-command followed the Turov River at an altitude of 100-150 meters when he initiated hazardous manoeuvres. The airplane climbed and adopted a high nose-up attitude when it stalled, plunged into the earth and crashed in a vertical (90° angle) attitude about 10 km south of Shelopugino. The aircraft was totally destroyed upon impact and all four occupants were killed.

The airplane was engaged in a geological support mission. While approaching Yessey Airstrip, during a fourth turn, the pilot-in-command elected to correct the roll but his reaction increased the roll to an angle of 45°. The airplane lost height and crashed on the icy Yessey lake about 5 km from the village. There were no casualties.

The crew was engaged in a spraying mission in the region of Eldari and arrived on March 13. No flight was scheduled on March 14 so the crew decided to perform engine tests. The captain asked the copilot to give up his seat to the mechanic for the purpose of the engine test run. Three unauthorized passengers from a local farm embarked and the captain decided to takeoff despite poor weather conditions (visibility below minimums). The single engine aircraft took off at 1228LT with flaps down at 20°. During initial climb, at a height of about 25-30 meters, the airplane entered a right turn then lost height and crashed in a field located 600 meters from the point of departure. A passenger was killed while five other occupants were injured.

Crashed near Candelaria after colliding with a flock of ducks. All five occupants were killed. The accident occurred somewhere in December 1980 (exact date unknown).
