Narrative:The Let 410 departed Bucharest's domestic airport Baneasa for a regular mail flight to Iasi. Weather was poor as the aircraft arrived near Iasi. Snowfall limited the visibility to approx. 2 kilometers with a temperature of -4 deg. C. The airplane was on an NDB approach to runway 15 with PAR assistance. Over the IAS beacon the pilot reported flying at 2700 ft and stated that they were going to turn right, outbound. The aircraft however turned left and descended until it crashed near a road, 300 meters West of the tower.
