Narrative:
The aircraft landed hard 123 m before the runway threshold and bounced. After a second touchdown on the rwy the aircraft rolled off the rwy. The main landing gears and the fuselage were damaged.

Shortly before touchdown the aircraft stalled. The accident occurred as a result of a combination of factors: the landing mass was significantly higher than the design mass (by 8.9 t), which led to a discrepancy between the speed maintained and the required speed; violation by Omsk-Tsentralny Airport personnel of the documents regulating cargo transport, which led to the aircraft being loaded with unexamined and unweighed cargo; the crew's failure to check aircraft weight; crew errors in piloting techniques, in particular, maintaining speed during the approad.
