Circumstances:
Following an uneventful flight from Krasnoyarsk, the crew started the approach to Dikson by night and marginal weather conditions. On short final, the aircraft was too high and landed too far down the runway with a tailwind component and at an excessive speed. Unable to stop within the remaining distance available, the aircraft overran, went through an embankment at a speed of 115 km/h and eventually came to rest in a ravine. All 35 occupants were rescued, among them 8 were injured. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
Wrong approach configuration on part of the crew. The following contributing factors were reported:
- Excessive speed upon landing,
- Tailwind component,
- Lack of visibility,
- Snow squalls.

All three occupants escaped with minor injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the aircraft was overloaded. The weight and balance sheet was incorrect (1,000 kilos instead of 1,300 kilos) and the total weight of the aircraft was 240 kilos above the MTOW. Also, the CofG was well beyond the aft limit.
