Less than one minute after takeoff from Khabarovsk-Maly airport, while climbing to a height of 21 metres at a speed of 155 k /h, the right door opened and detached. It struck the right propeller, causing the right engine to fail. The crew lost control of the aircraft that stalled and crashed in a garden located less than one km from the airport, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed by a post crash fire and all three occupants were seriously injured, among them Alexander Perkash, Director of the company.
