Circumstances:
The single engine aircraft (an Antonov An-2TP that was converted in 2014 with a TPE331 turbine engine) departed Naryan-Mar Airport on a schedule service (flight NYA9280) to Kharuta, Republic of Komi, carrying 11 passengers and two pilots. Shortly after takeoff, while climbing to a height of 30-40 metres, the aircraft entered an excessive nose-up attitude then rolled to the right, stalled and crashed in a snow covered field. A passengers was killed and 12 other occupants were injured. In the evening, two other passengers died and a fourth passed away on 10 January 2018.
Probable cause:
Loss of control during initial climb due to the combination of an excessive weight (the total weight of the aircraft was 42 kilos above MTOW) and a CofG that was too far aft, well above the permissible limit (32%). Poor flight preparation.
