Circumstances:
The airplane was engaged in a local skydiving flight. Shortly after takeoff from Yessentuki Airfield, the engine lost power. The airplane lost height, causing the left wing to collide with a lighting mast located on the bridge of the Suvorovskoye shosse road leading over the A-157 highway. The airplane continued to fly for some 100-150 metres before coming down into trees, about one km west of the airfield. The pilot and two passengers were injured.
