Arkhangelsk-Vaskovo | Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives

The single engine aircraft departed Shoyna Airport on a regular schedule service to Arkhangelsk-Vaskovo Airport, carrying eight passengers and two pilots. At liftoff, the aircraft banked right, causing the right lower wing to struck the ground. The right main gear was torn off upon impact. Out of control, the aircraft veered off runway and came to rest in a grassy area. All 10 occupants were rescued, among them three were slightly injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It is believed that the crew encountered strong cross winds upon takeoff.

Circumstances:

On final approach to Arkhangelsk-Vaskovo Airport, the crew encountered marginal weather conditions with snow showers. The captain lost visual contact with the runway but continued the approach when he realized, too late, that the aircraft was misaligned with the runway. This caused the aircraft to land to the right of the runway and to collide with a snow bank. All 38 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Circumstances:

After takeoff from Petrozavodsk Airport on a flight to Vaskovo Airport in Arkhangelsk, while climbing, the airplane entered clouds when the pilot-in-command lost control of the airplane that entered a dive and crashed in the iced Urozero Lake. The airplane partially sank and all seven occupants were killed.

Probable cause:

It was determined that the artificial horizon failed after takeoff. While climbing into clouds, the pilot-in-command suffered a spatial disorientation and lost control of the airplane.
