The aircraft was engaged in a special flight consisting of oil fields exploration. The flight was postponed three times because the three passengers failed to arrive on time. When they arrived at the airplane, they were intoxicated and continued to drink alcohol during the flight. One of the passenger was allowed to take the copilot' seat. At an altitude of 100 meters, he touched the control column and the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent until it impacted the ground, bursting into flames. Two passengers were killed and four other occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.

While flying at low height during a crop spraying flight, the single engine airplane stalled and crashed in a field. The copilot was seriously injured and the captain was killed.

Following an uneventful flight from Chelyabinsk at an altitude of 10,200 meters, the crew was cleared to initiate the approach to Alma-Ata Airport in view of a landing on runway 05. By night, the crew was instructed to initiate a left turn and to descend to an altitude of 600 meters after being informed of an II-62 approaching eight km right of their position. As the aircraft was too low, the GPWS warning sounded in the cockpit. For unknown reasons, the crew failed to react promptly and initiated a corrective maneuver 23 seconds later. The aircraft nosed up to an angle of 14° then turned left to an angle of 11-12° when it struck two seconds later the slope of Mt Dolan (690 meters high) located about 36 km west of Almaty Airport. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and all 90 occupants were killed. The wreckage was found 24 meters below the summit.

The spraying rotations all along the day were completed in difficult conditions as the captain and the (illegal) passenger were intoxicated. The captain was also angry and fighting the copilot. After several low passes, while at an altitude of 200 meters, the airplane entered a left turn then banked to an angle of 60° and crashed on the top of a hill (718 meters high). The aircraft was destroyed and all three occupants were killed.

Crashed on landing for unknown reasons. There were no casualties.

The crew was engaged in the control of gas compression stations n° 10, 11 and 12 located in the region of Shalkar. In the afternoon, the crew consumed alcohol and took off at 1745LT with two unauthorized people on board (a young couple who just got married). The crew made a short stop few minutes later to pick up three additional people who were invited to the wedding party. The crew continued the flight at an altitude of 100-150 meters. The visibility was poor because of night, mist and light rain. Several cars were parked at destination with light ON to allow the airplane to land. Unfortunately, the crew was unable to located precisely the landing area and decided to go-around. At a relative low height, the aircraft entered a nose-down attitude then banked right to an angle of 60° and crashed at a speed of 200 km/h in a field. At impact, all seven occupants were ejected and some of them were found 136 meters from the point of impact. The aircraft was destroyed and all seven occupants were killed.

The crew was engaged in a local spraying mission in Pavlodar. After takeoff, the captain passed the controls to the copilot and fell asleep. The copilot completed the entire mission on his own and, after finishing the process, transferred control of the aircraft to the commander. In unclear circumstances, the single engine airplane went out of control, lost height and crashed in a field. Both occupants were injured. In order to hide the true cause of the accident, the crew went into criminal conspiracy and set fire to the plane to explain the cause of the accident as an engine failure.

While descending to Shevshenko Airport while on a positioning flight, the crew was forced to attempt an emergency landing as the airplane ran out of fuel. The aircraft belly landed in an open field located few km from the airport and came to rest. All three crew members escaped with minor injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The airplane was engaged in a flight from Aktyubinsk to Kenkiyak, carrying 12 passengers and a crew of two on behalf of an oil exploration company. Rotation was completed at a speed of 80 km/h after a course of 180 meters. During initial climb, at a height of 5-7 meters, at a speed of 120 km/h, the airplane banked left then lost height and crashed 210 meters from the runway end, rolled for about 26 meters and came to rest. Two passengers were killed while 12 other occupants were seriously injured.

Following several crop spraying flights that day, the pilot and one passenger departed the State farm of Magnaisky on a short flight to the State farm of Pobeda, both located in the suburb of Kostanay. On approach, the pilot made a sharp turn to the left at low height. The airplane rolled to the left at an angle of 45°, causing the left wing to struck the ground and the aircraft to crash. Both occupants were uninjured.
