Narrative:
The Antonov was on final approach, descending through 30-40 m when it swerved 40-50deg to the left when the crew simulated a left engine failure. The rate of descent reduced and the aircraft then banked 60-70 degrees to the left and the left wingtip struck the ground.
PROBABLE CAUSE: No. 1 propeller went into ground fine pitch due to a malfunction in the feathering system.
