Narrative:
A BRM Aero Bristell NG 5 RG impacted a mountain after veering off the approach course while on approach to Novorossiya Airfield. Both occupants died in the crash.


Conclusion
The aviation accident involving the Bristell RG aircraft RA-5500G occurred during daylight while flying in clouds, as a result of the pilot-in-command (PIC) losing spatial orientation and the subsequent collision of the aircraft with the ground.

The contributing factors were:
* The PIC’s decision to descend through clouds, where visual flight rules (VFR) could not be maintained;
* Most likely, the absence of instrument flight skills (the PIC was not authorized to conduct instrument flight).
