Circumstances:
Shortly after takeoff from Aldan Airport, while in initial climb at a speed of 160 km/h, the right engine failed. The crew elected to make an emergency landing on a small hill located six km from the airport and reduced his altitude when the right wing struck trees and the roof of a barn before crashing in flames. All occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.
Probable cause:
Due to the fact that the right engine was totally destroyed by fire, investigations were unable to determine the cause of the failure that occurred during initial climb.
