Circumstances:
The single engine aircraft departed Kyzylorda on a charter flight to the island of Vozrozhdeniya with an intermediate stop in Bozoy, carrying 10 doctors and two pilots. They were taking part to a plague control program. After takeoff from Bozoy, while climbing to a height of about 50 metres, the aircraft stalled and crashed in an open field. All 12 occupants were rescued, among them three passengers were seriously injured. Few hours later, one of them died from his injuries.
Probable cause:
Stall and loss of control after the cargo shifted during initial climb. It was determined that the cargo was not properly secured in the cabin and moved to the rear during initial climb. The distance between the aircraft and the ground was insufficient to expect recovery. It was also reported that the aircraft has been refueled with AI-96 motor gasoline instead of aviation fuel.

Circumstances:
The crew was engaged in several flights between Shalkar and Yuzhnyy, carrying oil field workers. After takeoff from Yuzhnyy, the crew decided to make a stop in Bozoy but there was no passengers to embark so it was decided to continue quickly. Shortly after takeoff, while flying at a relative low height in limited visibility, the single engine airplane struck a radio mast (160 meters high) located near Bozoy. The airplane embedded in the mast at a height of 85 meters. Few debris fell down and all three occupants were ejected and killed.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the crew precipitated the departure from Bozoy without checking weather conditions and flight conditions. The following contributing factors were reported:
- Poor flight planning,
- Marginal weather conditions with low clouds, patches of fog and limited visibility,
- The passenger was illegally on board,
- The crew failed to communicate with ATC,
- Insufficient altitude,
- Wrong decisions.
