Narrative:
The aircraft lost engine power at 130m AGL after takeoff. The pilot made a left turn and flew back to the airfield. He touched some trees and made a bumpy landing. The Antonov flipped over and sustained substantial damage. The occupants escaped uninjured.
Cause (translated from German):
The accident is attributable to the fact that the engine of the aircraft quit in the climb phase and the plane did not have enough height for a reverse curve.
To the engine failure may have contributed:
- Carburettor icing
- Incorrect adjustment of the mixture control
