The crew was engaged in a local training mission at Irkutsk-Intl Airport. During a ninth approach to runway 30, the crew was cleared to initiate a go-around according to the training program. While climbing to an altitude of 270 meters in limited visibility, the AN-12 collided with an Aeroflot PZL-Mielec AN-2R registered CCCP-49342. En route to Kazachinskoye, the AN-2 just took off from the same runway with 11 passengers and two pilots on board. Following the collision, the AN-2 went out of control and crashed in flames 200 meters further. All 13 occupants were killed. The crew of the AN-12 elected to make an emergency landing when the aircraft crash landed in a prairie located 3,980 meters past the runway end.

About 20 minutes after takeoff, while cruising at an altitude of 2,400 meters, a passenger announced to the crew that a fire erupted in the rear part of the cabin. Smoke spread in the cabin and the cockpit and as the crew was unable to extinguish the fire, the captain decided to reduce his altitude and attempted an emergency landing in a prairie. The aircraft crash landed and came to rest in flames in an open field located 4 km from the village of Kharat. All eight occupants escaped while the aircraft was partially destroyed by fire. 40 hours later, a female passenger died from her injuries.

Following an uneventful flight from Khanty-Mansiysk, the crew was cleared to continue the approach to runway 25 when he encountered marginal weather conditions with low clouds (130 meters above the ground) and limited visibility. While on approach at an altitude of 150 metres, the single engine airplane collided with a Mil Mi-8T. Registered CCCP-25686, it just took off from Surgut Airport bound to Nefteyugansk with 21 passengers and three crew members on board.

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.
