Narrative:The IL-76 transport plane operated on a cargo flight from Yekaterinburg to Africa with several en route stops. After a stopover at Belgrade, the crew forgot to switch on the AC/DC converter following start-up of the engines so that the 27 V electrical system continued to be fed from the batteries. After departure the batteries ran flat and all avionics and boosters were left without power. The crew made several unsuccessful attempts to conduct an emergency landing at Belgrade, due to night and difficult weather conditions. During one of these attempts the aircraft crashed in a corn field 800 metres from the runway, killing all 8 crew and 3 passengers.
