The flight was categorized as training and the reported phase was flight at a plain, valley crash site.

Crew on board: 6, crew fatalities: 6, passengers on board: 0, passenger fatalities: 0, other fatalities: 0.

The listed crash cause is human factor. The crew was engaged in a training flight out from Novosibirsk-Severny Airport. En route, while in cruising altitude, the crew simulated a failure of the left engine and gave maximum right rudder, leading to an aerodynamic overbalancing and resulting to a side-slip (it was impossible to return the rudder to the neutral position in this situation). The aircraft went out of control, entered a dive and crashed in a snow-covered swampy bush land located near the village of Penyok, some 91 km of the Novosibirsk-Tolmachevo Airport. All six crew members were killed.

Aircraft reference details include registration CCCP-61675, MSN 6 34 21 06, year of manufacture 1957.
