Circumstances:

Despite poor weather conditions, the crew decided to takeoff from Peledui at 1805LT. Two minutes and 30 seconds later, he realized that weather conditions were worse than predicted. In below-minima weather conditions (snowfall and poor visibility), the crew encountered white-out conditions when the aircraft struck the snow-covered surface of the frozen Lena river located 7.5 km southwest of the airport. The aircraft cartwheeled and came to rest upside down. Both pilots and both passengers were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Probable cause:

The crew's decision to initiate a flight in below-weather conditions (white-out conditions) under VFR mode.

While engaged in a skydiving mission out from Tushino Airport, the pilot started the takeoff run before all skydivers were seated, so they were thrown into the back of the cabin.

The pilot and all 10 passengers escaped unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Probable cause:

For unknown reasons, the pilot precipitated the takeoff procedure.

Circumstances:

The single engine airplane was completing a flight from Ventsy (krai of Krasnodar) to Maykop, carrying two pilots and one mechanic. On approach to Maykop Airport, the crew encountered below minima weather conditions with clouds down to 100 metres and a visibility of 1 km. The crew was unable to establish a visual contact with the runway and when ATC suggested the crew to return to Ventsy, the crew said he was short of fuel. Shortly later, the engine failed; the aircraft lost height and crashed in an open field located 3 km from the airport, bursting into flames. All three occupants were killed.

Probable cause:

Engine failure due to fuel exhaustion. Weather bulletin transmitted to crew prior to departure from Ventsy was not relevant and did not reflect the actual situation in Maykop. Also ATC failed to transmit suitable information to the crew.
