Circumstances:

During the flight preparation, none of the people involved (meteo, operations) informed the crew about the possible degradation of weather conditions en route. The single engine aircraft departed Rovno Airport at 1407LT bound for Vladimirets, carrying 13 passengers and two pilots. Two minutes after takeoff, the crew was informed by ATC about the arrival of a cold front with turbulences and rain about 10 km ahead. The crew failed to respond to this alert message and continued. Eight minutes later, while flying at low height in heavy rain falls, the engine failed. The aircraft lost height, struck tree tops and crashed in a forest. All 15 occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Probable cause:

Poor flight preparation on part of the crew as well as meteo and operations and failure of the pilot to return when weather conditions worsened. It was determined that the engine failed after an excessive amount of rainwater entered the engine compartment through the hoods that were not closed in a timely manner.

Circumstances:

En route from Khanty-Mansiysk to Tobolsk, while cruising at an altitude of 191 meters, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with heavy rain falls and very limited visibility. The single engine aircraft struck the chimney of an electrical plant, stalled and crashed, bursting into flames. Both pilots were killed.

Probable cause:

The crew failed to follow the published procedures and the assigned route. At the time of the accident, the aircraft deviated from the prescribed route and its altitude was insufficient. The lack of visibility due to poor weather conditions was a contributing factor.
