Yakutavia

PZL-Mielec AN-2

Shortly after takeoff from Batagay Airport, while climbing to a height of about 50 metres, the aircraft nosed up. Rather than reducing engine power, the captain asked the passengers to come to the front of the cabin when the aircraft rolled to the left, stalled and crashed 80 metres to the left of the runway. Seven passengers were killed while 12 other occupants were injured. The aircraft was destroyed.

Antonov AN-24

During the takeoff roll at Ust-Kuyga Airport, the aircraft became uncontrollable. It veered off runway to the right and came to rest. All 27 occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Despite poor weather conditions, the crew decided to takeoff from Peledui at 1805LT. Two minutes and 30 seconds later, he realized that weather conditions were worse than predicted. In below-minima weather conditions (snowfall and poor visibility), the crew encountered white-out conditions when the aircraft struck the snow-covered surface of the frozen Lena river located 7.5 km southwest of the airport. The aircraft cartwheeled and came to rest upside down. Both pilots and both passengers were injured and the aircraft was destroyed.

Yakovlev Yak-40

After takeoff from Neryungri Airport, while climbing, the captain informed ATC about the failure of the engine n°3 that caught fire. He was cleared to return for an emergency landing and completed a turn and a 'normal' landing. All 28 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
