Moscow oblast

The crew was performing a positioning flight from Bykovo to Vnukovo. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the left engine failed and the crew was unable to feather the propeller. Due to high drag, the captain decided to divert to Sukovo Airport but the undercarriage could not be locked. While trying to make a go around, the right engine overheated, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a wooded area located near the airport. Two crew members were slightly injured while three others were killed.

The crew was performing a positioning flight from Moscow-Vnukovo to Moscow-Khodynka. Shortly after takeoff, the crew voluntarily shot down an engine for training purposes. As he was unable to restart the engine, the captain decided to return to Vnukovo. On final, probably due to a wrong approach configuration, the aircraft landed long and after touchdown, the captain decided to go around. But the aircraft went out of control, veered off runway, collided with a parked Bell P-39Q Airacobra before coming to rest in flames 85 meters further on. All five crew members were unhurt while both aircraft were destroyed by fire.

After completing several maneuvers in Moscow-Vnukovo on a training program, the crew started a new approach. On final, both engines flamed out. The pilot in command pulled the control column back so the aircraft nosed up, stalled and crashed in a wooded area located 800 meters from the boundary fence. Three crew members were killed while four others were seriously injured.

Crashed in unknown circumstances in Dmitrovskoye, in the north suburb of Moscow, killing all six crew members.

Shortly after takeoff from Moscow-Khodynka Airport, while in initial climb, the left engine developed problems. The captain decided to return for an emergency landing but failed to follow the published approach procedures and elected to land on the nearest runway. With a tailwind component, he completed a straight in approach but came too high so performed a sharp turn to the left when the left wing hit the ground. Out of control, the aircraft crashed and came to rest near the runway. The copilot and the flight engineer were killed while four other people were injured, three of them seriously. All other occupants escaped unhurt.

Following an uneventful cargo flight from Khvoynaya and while approaching the Moscow area, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with fog and snow falls. As the pilot was unable to localize the Airport of Vnukovo, he decided to divert to Khimki but was unable to land there so completed several circuits above the northwest area of Moscow. Eventually, while flying at low height in bad visibility, the airplane hit a barn and crashed in a field located at the border of the sovkhoz owned by the '16th Party Congress'. Three crew members and two passengers were killed while five other occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

While on ground in Moscow-Khodynka Airport, the right engine was subject to maintenance due to vibrations. The technical issue was apparently resolved so the crew decided to leave Moscow for Kazan. After liftoff, while climbing to a height of 100 meters, the right engine suffered severe vibrations and the crew tried to fix the problem by changing the mixture of the carburetor. The right engine failed and the aircraft lost height and eventually stalled and crashed on a railway line located in the station of Moscow-Butyrskaya, about 3,5 km northeast of the Khodynka Airport. Three crew members, nine passengers (among them P. S. Makarova, Deputy of the Chairman of the Soviet Supreme) and one person on the ground were killed. A crew member and eight other passengers were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

The airplane departed Myachkovo Airport at 1150LT on a special flight to Krasnodar, carrying two passengers and three crew members. About 25 minutes into the flight, weather conditions deteriorated with sudden heavy snow falls. The pilot elected to return but from a height of 150 metres, the airplane entered a dive and crashed one km north of the village of Tatiny. All five occupants were killed.

The airplane departed Moscow-Myachkovo Airport at 0855LT on a mail flight to Leningrad, carrying three crew members and one passenger. After takeoff, the airplane climbed to a height of 100 metres over a forest then the pilot initiated a turn to the left, apparently to return to the airport. While approaching the airfield at an altitude of 200 metres, the airplane entered a right turn then nosed down and crashed 200 metres west of the airport, five minutes after takeoff. The airplane was destroyed and all four occupants were killed.

The airplane departed Moscow-Khodynka Airport on a local test flight, carrying one passenger and two crew members, one pilot and one mechanic. After takeoff, while in initial climb, the left engine failed. From a height of about 90-100 metres, the airplane initiated a left turn, stalled, entered a flat spin and crashed in the Petrovski Park located near the Air Force Academy not far from the airport, bursting into flames. The pilot was seriously injured and the flight mechanic and the sole passenger were killed.
