Circumstances:
On landing at Verkhnevilyuisk, the aircraft touched down late on an unpaved runway, bounced twice, landed firmly 777 metres past the runway threshold. Unable to stop within the remaining distance (runway is 1,800 metres long), it overran and collided with obstacles. All five crew escaped unhurt while one passenger was injured.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the total weight of the aircraft was 12,5 tons above max landing weight, which affected the landing capabilities.
