Circumstances:
The single engine aircraft was completing a local skydiving mission at Okha Airport on behalf of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Aeroklub. After takeoff, while climbing to a height of about 50 meters, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a snow covered field. Three skydivers were killed while all 12 other occupants were injured.
Probable cause:
It was determined that the total weight of the aircraft was well above the MTOW while the CofG was too far aft the limit. The stall occurred at a too low altitude to expect recovery.
