Altai Krai

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Slavgorod to Samara, carrying six crew members and a load of 10,8 tons of hydraulic fluids in barrels. After takeoff, while climbing to a height of about 50 metres, both engines n°2 & 4 failed simultaneously. The crew declared an emergency and was cleared to return. The captain realized this would not be possible and attempted an emergency landing in an open field located 8,6 km from the airport. The aircraft landed in a flapless and gear up configuration. Upon touchdown, the tail separated and the aircraft slid for few dozen metres before coming to rest, bursting into flames. All six occupants were injured, four of them seriously.

The single engine aircraft departed Dzhazator at 1512LT on a flight to Kosh-Agach, carrying five Ukrainian tourists, one local guide and two pilots. Weather conditions were poor with low ceiling and rain falls. As the visibility was insufficient (below minimums), the crew mistakenly followed a wrong course after departure and the aircraft first entered the Ak-Alakha canyon then the Chad valley. In whiteout conditions, the crew saw a mountain and initiated a right turn when the aircraft struck trees and crashed in a wooded area. There was no fire. The wreckage was found 23 km south of Dzhazator. Both pilots and a passenger were killed while five other occupants were seriously injured.

The engine failed shortly after takeoff but the crew reaction was inappropriate and the aircraft crashed. Occupant's fate unknown.

After takeoff, the single engine airplane encountered difficulties to gain height. It struck trees, stalled and crashed. The occupant's fate remains unknown. The crew was completing a flight from Novokuznetsk to Gorno-Altaysk and Aktash with few geologist on board. The departure was attempted at an altitude of 1,470 meters with an OAT of +30° C. At the time of the accident, the total weight of the aircraft was 358 kilos above the MTOW and the takeoff speed was too low.

While descending to Barnaul on a flight from Zmeinogorsk, the engine failed. The aircraft stalled and crashed in a wooded area. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The single engine airplane departed Barnaul Airport at 0945LT bound for Altayskoye with an intermediate stop at Biisk. For unknown reason, the crew did not land in Biisk and continued directly to Altayskoye. Approaching Altayskoye, the crew encountered marginal weather conditions with light snow and a visibility limited to 1,500 - 2,500 meters due to low clouds. While cruising at an altitude of 820 meters, the left wings struck tree tops. The pilot increased engine power and the airplane continued to fly for about 200 meters during six seconds when he reached a critical angle of attack, stalled and crashed on the south slope of the Mt Vereskovaya located 12,5 km from Altayskoye. As the airplane failed to arrive, SAR operations were conducted and the wreckage was found a day later, in the morning of March 8, at an altitude of 890 meters in a rocky area. The copilot and four passengers were seriously injured while 10 other occupants were killed. A day later, on March 9, the copilot and a passenger died from their injuries.

The airplane departed Novosibirsk at 1200LT on a flight to Pavlovsk with one pilot and one passenger (a member of the government) on board. In violation of the article 167, the pilot continued the flight at an insufficient altitude. Once he reached the village of Yazovo, he spotted a group of people and completed a low pass (around 3 meters above the ground). After passing the village, he realized he was facing a hill and made a sharp turn when he lost control of the airplane that stalled and crashed, bursting into flames. The passenger was seriously injured and the pilot was killed.
