Circumstances:
The crew was completing a local training mission at Tomsk-Bogashovo Airport. Following four circuits, the pilot-in-command initiated a left turn when, at a height of about 120 meters, the airplane banked left to an angle of 20° then stalled and crashed 230 metres from the southern runway threshold. The aircraft was totally destroyed by impact forces and a post crash fire and all three crew members were killed.
Probable cause:
The exact cause of the accident could not be determined with certainty. However, the assumption that the loss of control was caused by a possible jammed aileron control cable was not ruled out.
