Republic of Yakutia (Sakha)

In the morning, the crew completed two flights in the area. Due to engine problems, a technician was asked to make some engine test run. While the aircraft was parked on the ground, a technician proceeded to an engine test but forgot to install chocks on wheels. After the engine was started, power was added. The pilot who was standing by the door fell out of the plane that started to roll. After takeoff, the airplane climbed to a height of 12 meters, made a sharp turn to the left, stalled and crashed upside down. The technician, sole on board, was killed. It was determined that when the airplane started to roll quite roughly, the technician fell down from the pilot seat. Then, after liftoff, the cargo shifted to the rear of the cabin, causing the aircraft to stall.

On approach to Khandyga Airport, the airplane crashed in unknown circumstances six km short of runway threshold. There were no casualties while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

The crew was engaged in a special flight to repatriate 10 children from vacations in the region of Andryushkino, Yakutia. Following a poor judgement and a poor flight preparation, the crew landed on a too small lake whose length was 380 meters, while a minimum distance of 850 meters was required. With a total weight of 5,050 kg, the single engine airplane struck the bank during takeoff, causing the floats to be damaged. The crew continued the takeoff and upon landing on a second lake few minutes later, the airplane crashed. All 12 occupants escaped without serious injuries while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

After touchdown, the crew started the braking procedure when the flight engineer inadvertently raised the landing gear. The aircraft sank on its belly and slid for dozen meters before coming to rest. All 18 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was written off.

For unknown reason, the pilot was flying too low when the airplane hit the left bank of the Kotui River and crashed near the mouth of the Bysyttakh River. There were no casualties.

The single engine airplane was engaged in a charter flight from Bulun to Tiksi, carrying three crew members, 21 schoolboys and a load of fish (three bags). Prior to takeoff, the copilot and the flight engineer informed the captain about the fact that the aircraft was overloaded but the captain decided to take off. Shortly after rotation, while climbing to a height of 20-25 meters, the airplane nosed up and reached a critical angle of attack. The captain elected to make an emergency landing when control was lost and the airplane crashed in a field. All 24 occupants were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Crashed in unknown circumstances near Lensk. There were no casualties.

Crashed near Chersky following an engine failure. There were no casualties.

The aircraft was performing a cargo flight, carrying fuel drums. En route, a fire erupted in the cargo compartment, forcing the crew to attempt an emergency landing. The aircraft landed near Suntar and all occupants managed to escape while the aircraft was destroyed by fire.

Shortly after takeoff from Aldan Airport, while in initial climb at a speed of 160 km/h, the right engine failed. The crew elected to make an emergency landing on a small hill located six km from the airport and reduced his altitude when the right wing struck trees and the roof of a barn before crashing in flames. All occupants were evacuated safely while the aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire.
