- Main causes:
1. Lack of knowledge of the aircraft's fuel system by the aircraft commander, leading to improper handling of the fuel valve, which caused the engine to shut down in flight.

- Contributing cause:
Non-compliance with the rules for conducting flights within the airspace of the Republic of Bulgaria.
