The Il-12 operated on a passenger service from Moscow to Khabarovsk with en route stops at Irkutsk and Chita. During the night time leg to Chita, the crew deviated from the prescribed flight path. They became lost and were not able to find Chita Airport.
Fuel shortage caused the flight crew to perform a forced landing near a settlement, but on the fourth attempt to land the aircraft hit trees at a height of 900 metres on the slope of a 1,000 metres high hill. It came to rest upside down at a height of 850 metres on the opposite slope of the hill, 340 metres from the first impact.
