Narrative:
The Let L-410 operated on a flight from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Baykovo on the Kuril Islands. Visibility was poor and the crew descended prematurely in order to get below the clouds for a visual approach to Baykovo. The crew was distracted while looking for landmarks as the aircraft descended until impacting slightly rising terrain, 5 km from the runway.
One of the propellers broke off and sliced through the fuselage, killing one passenger.
