Circumstances:
While taxiing at Moscow-Domodedovo Airport, the aircraft encountered strong crosswinds and the rudder got stuck in the full left position. The flight engineer suggested the captain to return to the apron to proceed to an inspection but the pilot prefered to takeoff. After liftoff from runway 32L, while climbing to a height of about 24 metres, the aircraft went out of control and crashed in a wooded area located 365 metres past the runway end. Two occupants were seriously injured and five others were killed.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the rudder was blocked in the full left position prior to takeoff, probably due to the strong crosswinds encountered during the taxi procedure.

Circumstances:
The aircraft was engaged in a local test flight, carrying nine engineers and pilots. Shortly after takeoff from Moscow-Zhukovsky Airport, while climbing to a height of 45 metres, the right propeller autofeathered. The aircraft started to roll left and right then reached a critical angle of attack. Out of control, it stalled and crashed 400 metres past the runway end, bursting into flames. Two people were seriously injured while seven others were killed. The aircraft was supposed to perform a series of five 7-minutes flights to test the noise from ground. At the time of the accident, the total weight of the aircraft was near the limit.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the right engine autofeathered immediately after lift-off due to an electronic malfunction.
