Yeniseysk

The airplane was completing a flight from Sverdlovsk to Krasnoyarsk with an intermediate stop in Kamensk-Uralski, carrying six crew members and six passengers accompanying the cargo composed by 10 tons of various metallic materials. En route from Kamensk-Uralski to Krasnoyarsk, the crew was informed about poor weather conditions at destination and was instructed to divert to Yeniseysk Airport. On approach by night, the airplane descended below the glide and was too low when the copilot informed twice the captain they should initiate a go-around. For unknown reason, the captain continued the approach when the airplane, in a slight nose-down attitude, struck the ground with its nose gear 1,933 meters short of runway threshold. It bounced and flew for about 374 meters then struck trees and crashed 612 meters after initial impact. The aircraft was destroyed and the navigator was killed while 11 other occupants were injured.

On a flight from Nazimovo to Yeniseysk, the engine lost power due to bad quality of the used B-91/115 fuel. While the aircraft was flying at a height of some 150 metres above the ground, the crew opted for a forced landing in a forest located 40 km northwest of Yeniseysk. The aircraft collided with trees, crashed, caught fire and burnt out. A passenger and a pilot were killed while all 12 other occupants were injured, three of them seriously.

The crew completed a cargo flight from Krasnoyarsk to Yeniseysk and was now returning to Krasnoyarsk on a ferry flight. The approach to Krasnoyarsk Airport was started 20 minutes after sunset. In limited visibility, the crew failed to realize he was flying at an insufficient altitude. Some 55 meters before the middle marker, the airplane struck tree tops then sank and struck successively a telegraphic pole, a wooden fence and a hangar before crashing in flames 85 meters after the middle marker. Three crew members were killed while the radio navigator was seriously injured. Three days later, the only survivor died from his injuries.

The airplane left Yeniseysk Airport at 1655LT bound for Krasnoyarsk. Thirty minutes later, while cruising at an altitude of 1,800 meters by night and in good weather conditions, the crew encountered technical problems with the left propeller that was over speeding. For unknown reason, the crew was unable to feather the propeller and took the decision to return to Yeniseysk. Due to drag, the aircraft lost height and thirty minutes later, at a speed of 130 km/h, it hit tree tops and crashed in a wooded area located 25 km south of Yeniseysk Airport. Three passengers were killed while 16 other occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.
