The Mi-8T (RA-24556) was damaged while starting its engines on the helipad of the Mikhail Somov vessel in the Pechora Bay. Due to a sudden strong gust of wind, the rotor blades hit the tail boom, damaging its skin. After unloading, the helicopter of the 2nd Arkhangelsk United Aviation Squadron was supposed to fly to land according to visual flight rules — to the Konstantinovsky Lighthouse. There were four crew members on board — no one was hurt.
