While flying at 3,700 feet, the engine exploded and stopped. The crew elected to carry out an emergency landing in a field located 49 km from Amakinskaya airport. On landing, the aircraft hit small trees and crashed. The engine problem was caused by a fatigue fracture on the number one cylinder. Both pilots escaped unhurt. The aircraft was carrying 5 barrels of gazoline. |
