On 19 December 2024, a Faeravia An-2 aircraft went missing in Kamchatka Krai while on a flight from Milkovo (UHPM) to Ossora (UHPD). The aircraft had two crew members and one passenger onboard and was transporting 800kg of cargo, consisting of food and spare parts.
On 22 December, the wreckage of the aircraft was located by a Mi-8 rescue helicopter in the area of Mount Tundrovaya, Ust-Kamchatsky Raion, Kamchatka Krai. The aircraft was located using its emergency signal, but was delayed due to adverse weather conditions.
The three occupants of the aircraft were sheltering in the overturned aircraft. They were successfully evacuated from the site for medical attention.
Cause:
An aviation accident involving the Antonov An-2 aircraft RA-33555 occurred during the day as a result of in-flight icing, which led to the loss of the aircraft's lift capabilities, followed by a landing and damage to the aircraft.
Contributing factors included:
- The captain's decision to carry out the flight without obtaining a weather forecast for the route;
- The captain's failure to take measures to exit the icing zone.
