From 0645LT to 1330LT, the crew completed herbicides spraying mission in the region of Spassk-Dalni and returned to Gayvoron at 1715LT to resupply with 375 kg of pollinisation products. A second resupply with 900 kg was made later and the airplane took off at 2020LT to spray a wheat field. While flying at a height of 6-7 meters, the pilot-in-command made a turn to the left at 45-50° when the left low-wing touched the ground, causing the aircraft to crash in flames. The airplane was destroyed by fire and both pilots were killed.
Probable Cause:
Wrong techniques on part of the pilot who made sharp turn to the left at an insufficient height, causing the aircraft to crash.
