On final approach to Novosibirsk-Tolmachevo Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions and the captain decided to go around. A second attempt to land was made few minutes later. As the visibility seems to improve a bit, the captain decided to land. After touchdown on a waterlogged runway, the airplane was unable to stop within the remaining distance and overran. While contacting soft ground, the undercarriage were sheared off and the airplane came to rest. There were no casualties.

The crew was on a positioning flight from Cheremshan to Kazan after he completed crop spraying operations in the region of Cheremshan. After takeoff, while climbing to a height of 25 meters, the airplane banked 50° then stalled and crashed in flames in a field located 160 metres outside of the airfield's perimeter. A pilot and the passenger were killed while three other occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

Due to technical issues with the on board heating system, the departure from Dhzigda was postponed after sunset. Despite the poor visibility, the pilot decided to takeoff around 2030LT and after liftoff, the airplane continued at low height and turn slightly to the right when control was lost. The airplane banked right to an angle of 25° then stalled and crashed at a speed of 220 km/h in a wooded area located 3,5 km from the airfield. The wreckage was found two days later and all three occupants were killed.

The crew was engaged in a local night training mission at Batagay Airport. Following three uneventful circuits, the crew started a fourth approach in a visibility reduced to 4 km due to snow showers. On final, the aircraft struck the slope of a snow hill located 2,200 meters short of runway and 205 meters to the right of its extended centerline. The aircraft was destroyed and both pilots were killed. Shortly before the accident, the visibility dropped from 7 to 4 km.

At liftoff, the airplane banked left, causing the left main gear to struck the ground three times on a distance of 190 meters. After passing the runway end, the aircraft rolled for 36 meters in a thick layer of snow then climbed steeply to an altitude of 280 meters before crashing onto several buildings located 470 meters farther. All four occupants were uninjured and there were no victims on the ground.

The crew was returning to Irkutsk following a cargo flight to Mirnyy. After takeoff from Kirensk Airport, while climbing to a height of some 500 meters, the airplane banked left, dove into the ground and crashed onto a wooden hut located 750 meters south of the airfield. The airplane was totally destroyed and all six crew members were killed.

During the takeoff roll, at a speed of 130 km/h, the pilot-in-command started the rotation. The airplane climbed few meters but was unable to gain sufficient height and banked right to an angle of 20°. The crew tried to regain control but the airplane was totally unstable. The pilot decided to reduce the power on left engine then on right engine when the airplane crash landed past the runway end. All six crew members were uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The airplane departed Baku Airport at 1408LT on a cargo flight to Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, carrying two engineers from the motorist Zaporozhie, four crew members and a load consisting of five gear boxes for a total weight of 1,366 kilos. After takeoff from Baku, the airplane climbed to an altitude of 2,100 meters and the crew obtained the permission to modify his route to make an intermediate stop at Rostov-on-Don before continuing to Dnipropetrovsk. Doing so, the crew failed to request information about weather conditions en route. Later into the flight, weather conditions worsened and the captain requested the permission to descend to 1,500 meters but this was not possible and ATC instructed the crew to maintain the assigned altitude of 2,100 meters. While cruising in a thunderstorm, the airplane went out of control, partially disintegrated in the air and eventually crashed in a field located 10 km north of Izobilnoye. The aircraft was totally destroyed and all six occupants were killed. It was reported that the left stabiliser was the first part to be sheared off during the descent and was found 850 meters from the main wreckage.

The airplane departed Nagurskoye Airport, in the Franz-Josef Archipelago, at 0820LT with a crew of five and two hydrologists on board to perform an ice reconnaissance to allow the launch of the icebreaker 'Indigirka'. While flying at an altitude of 150 meters in a visibility less than one km, the aircraft struck the southwest slope of the Graham Bell Glacier, flew for 750 meters before crashing in flames. The aircraft was destroyed and all seven occupants were killed. At the time of the accident, the visibility was below minima.

The aircraft departed Kostroma Airport at 0730LT with one passenger and seven crew on board. They were in charge to make aerial photography of the railroad from Neya to Svesha via Manturovo and Sharya. After two hours and ten minutes of flight, the left engine failed. The captain decided to divert to Sharya when the right engine overheated shortly later. In such conditions, he decided to attempt an emergency landing when the airplane lost height, struck trees and crashed in a dense wooded area located on km 711, some 600 meters from the railroad. The passenger was unhurt while all seven crew members were injured. Eighteen hours later, the captain died from his injuries. The airplane was destroyed.
