Circumstances:
The crew was supposed to fly to an unknown airfield. As he was unable to find that airfield, the pilot (M. I. Burin) decided to land at Vyazma Airport. He failed to fly the full aerodrome circuit and approached at an angle that allowed the airplane to touch down 120 metres from the perimeter of the airfield. Out of control, it collided with a ditch and ended up in a ravine. There were no casualties.
Probable cause:
Crew error.
