Antonov AN-32

The aircraft was completing a cargo flight from Tyumen to Ufa, carrying seven passengers, six crew members, a car and a container. On approach to Ufa Airport, the crew encountered poor weather conditions (night, sleet and low clouds) and limited visibility. On short final, the aircraft struck trees 1,098 metres short of runway, lost height and crashed in a wooded area, some 179 metres to the right of the extended centerline, bursting into flames. Eight occupants were killed and five others were injured.
