On a crop-spraying flight from Guran (Tulun district of the Irkutsk region) for the kolkhoz 'Zavyety Ilyicha', the intoxicated crew made a steep turn at very low height when the aircraft lost speed and height and crashed. A pilot and the sole passenger (the director of the collective farm) were killed while the second pilot was seriously injured.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the loss of control was the consequence of an intoxicated crew.
