The crew completed the approach with an excessive rate of descent and an incorrect flare, causing the aircraft to land with a positive acceleration of 3,5 g.

Circumstances:
The single engine aircraft was engaged in a cargo flight from Krasnodar to Sterlitamak with two intermediate stops in Volgograd and Uralsk, carrying two pilots, two passengers (beekeepers) and a load of boxes containing thousands of bees. Just after liftoff, at a height of about 1,5 meter, the aircraft's speed dropped and the tail stalled, hitting the runway surface. Out of control, the aircraft flew/rolled for few hundred meters then crashed 420 meters past the runway end. All four occupants were injured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. A passenger died from his injuries few hours later.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the crew failed to prepare the flight according to procedures and all boxes were not properly weighted. Due to a misevaluation of the box weight, the crew allowed a too high number of boxes to be stored in the cargo compartment. At the time of the accident, the total weight of the aircraft was 6,081 kilos which means 831 kilos above the max allowable takeoff weight. Also, the CofG was 40,8% over the aft limit. In such conditions, the aircraft could not be flow in a safely manner.

While descending to Yeysk Airport, the crew proceeded to a fuel transfer from the auxiliary tanks to the main central tank. Shortly later, all four engines stopped almost simultaneously. The aircraft lost height and crashed in the Azov Sea fe km off Yeysk Airport. 25 occupants were killed and 25 others were rescued.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the main central tank had not been drained or cleaned since a long time and a large quantity of water was still present. When the fuel was transferred from the auxiliary tanks to the main central tank, it mixed with water that contaminated the fuel lines, causing all four engines to fail.
