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.

After takeoff from Sverdlovsk-Koltsovo Airport, while climbing by night at a height of some 150 meters, one of the engine failed. For unknown reason, the crew was unable to shut down the engine and feather its propeller. Due to high drag, the airplane banked right then started an uncontrolled descent until it crashed at a speed of 440 km/h in a field located 2,900 meters past the runway end. The aircraft disintegrated on impact and debris were found on a distance of 320 meters. None of the 107 occupants survived the crash. The accident occurred one minute after rotation.

The captain decided to divert to Aldan for an emergency landing. On approach, the crew was unable to lower the gear so the captain decided to make a go-around. Due to the presence of mountains all around the airport, the captain decided to make a sharp turn to the left. From a height of 15-20 meters, the airplane banked left then stalled and crashed in a snow covered field located near the airport. The aircraft was destroyed and all five occupants were killed.

Both pilot and the sole passenger (an aircraft mechanic) were killed.

The crew (four testers and five crew members) was engaged in a series of test flights on behalf of the Ministry of Aeronautical Industry (MAP – Ministerstvo Aviatsionnoi Promyshlennosti – Minaviaprom). While cruising at a relative low height at a speed of 400 km/h, the crew opened the cargo hatch when the lock of the fastening system fitting the rail jammed. The 'cargo' got stuck in the cargo hold and the four parachutes opened. This caused severe damages to the fuselage and the separation of the tail. Out of control, the airplane plunged into the earth and crashed in a huge explosion at the edge of a wooded area located one km north of the village. All nine occupants were killed.
