Aircraft flight cycles:

Circumstances:
The aircraft was completing a charter flight from Vladivostok to Minsk, carrying 62 Lithuanian tourists and five crew members. During the takeoff roll, at a speed of 320 km/h, the captain started the rotation but the aircraft failed to respond. The crew initiated an emergency braking procedure 1,000 metres from the runway end (the runway is 3,500 metres long). Unable to stop within the remaining distance, the aircraft overran at a speed of 200 km/h, lost its nose gear and came to rest 283 metres further. All 67 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the aircraft was unable to rotate and takeoff because its total weight was about 6,8 tons above MTOW and the CofG was too far forward out of the enveloppe. Investigations revealed that the flight was not prepared according to published procedures and that the weight and balance sheet provided to the crew did not reflect the truth as a total of 16,800 kg of cargo and luggages were boarded instead of the 10,000 mentioned on the documentation.

Aircraft flight hours:

Circumstances:
After takeoff from Terney Airfield, while climbing to a height of 30 meters, the airplane adopted an excessive angle of attack. In a nose-up attitude, it banked left then stalled and crashed in flames in a potatoes field. The captain and five passengers were injured while all 10 other occupants were killed.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the crew failed to prepare the flight properly as the total weight of the aircraft was 449 kilos above the MTOW and the CofG was out of the enveloppe, too far aft. This caused the airplane to enter a high angle of attack during the initial climb and to stall and crash.
