The Il-12 operated on a flight from Moscow to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with en route stops at a.o. Irkutsk and Chita.
Shortly after takeoff from Irkutsk at night, the pilot mistook the lights on the masts of the inner marker for an aircraft approaching head-on. He banked sharply to the right at low altitude (100-120 metres) to avoid a collision but the aircraft stalled and crashed 2.5 km behind the runway threshold and 500 metres to the right of the runway's extended centreline.
