The helicopter was destroyed when it impacted in an open area, 200-300 m from the highway Simferopol-Alushta, Crimean Peninsula. All three occupants died in the crash.
The results of the investigation were published by the MAK.. The aircraft dropped most likely due to the technical failure of the main rotor ( Mast bumping ) after avoiding a bird or a groupe of birds, in strong wind conditions.
