Narrative:
The Li-2 was engaged in a night time passenger flight from Kazan to Sverdlovsk. While flying in low clouds and icing conditions, the crew lost radio contact with Koltsovo Airport because the aerials had been damaged by icing.
Unable to determine their position, the flight crew decided to descend in order to establish visual contact with the ground. Ultimately the aircraft ran out of fuel, leading the crew to carry out a wheels-up landing in a swamp, 18 km south of Bogdanovich. The aircraft hit some tree tops on the edge of the swamp and crashed.
The crew had worked for 13 hours and 54 minutes at the time of the accident.

Classification:

Fuel exhaustion
Forced landing outside airport
