Circumstances:
All the evening, the crew (a pilot and a flight mechanic) consumed alcohol. As they were unable to find a place to sleep in Bilovodske, they decided to return to Nedryhailiv. Four minutes following a night takeoff from Bilovodske, the pilot lost his orientation and elected to return. Shortly later, he suffered a spatial disorientation and lost control of the airplane that crashed less than 2 km east from Perekopivka (at N50°37' E33°28'), about 3 km south from Bilovodske Airstrip. Both occupants were seriously injured. The passenger died in hospital 15 days later.
Probable cause:
Loss of control after the pilot suffered a spatial disorientation while being intoxicated. Unauthorized flight.
