Polikarpov AP
The airplane departed Karsakpay at 1330LT on a flight to Dzhusaly, carrying two passengers, one pilot and 39 kg of cargo. The pilot failed to prepare the flight properly, did not get any information about the weather en route and did not have any suitable charts. Few minutes after takeoff, weather conditions deteriorated and the visibility was poor due to snow falls. The pilot decided to return to Karsakpay and initiated a turn when the airplane stalled and crashed in a field located 30 km from Karsakpay. All three occupants were injured, the pilot seriously. He died from his injuries seven days later.

Tupolev ANT-9
The airplane departed Alma-Ata on a flight to Balkhash with intermediate stops in Karaganda and Taldykorgan. Following a wrong approach configuration to Balkhash Airport, the pilot led the airplane descending with a crosswind component which caused the airplane to land on one landing gear only. The pilot increased engine power and initiated a go-around procedure. During the circuit, the airplane encountered wind up to 47 km/h and due to inappropriate techniques on part of the pilot-in-command, the aircraft descended to a height of 20 metres. While completing a turn, it stalled and crashed 2 km from the runway, bursting into flames. The aircraft was destroyed and all 10 occupants were killed.

Polikarpov P-5
The airplane departed Guryev Airport around 1300-1400LT on a flight to Aktyubinsk, carrying one engineer and one pilot, violating several rules. En route, weather conditions worsened and the pilot encountered poor visibility (around 1 km) due to snow falls. While cruising over an oil field, he lost his bearings and failed to locate his position. He initiated a sharp turn to the right, apparently to return, when the airplane impacted ground and crashed. Both occupants were killed.

The crew left Almaty Airport at 1110LT on a flight to Kazan with high-ranking party and state officials of the Kazakh government on board. At the time of departure, weather conditions were poor with low clouds, turbulences, fog and severe icing. About sixteen minutes later, the captain decided to return to Almaty Airport and while completing a steep turn to the left at an altitude of 100-150 meters, the aircraft lost height and crashed in flames in a field located 6 km northwest of Dmitriyevka (now Baiserke). Five crew members and 21 passengers were killed while eight other occupants were seriously injured.

While cruising vertical to the Mugodzhar mountain range, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with low clouds and icing. The aircraft lost height and crashed on the south slope of the Mt Menshy Brat (590 meters high). The wreckage was found two days later at an altitude of 520 meters and all eight occupants have been killed.

The crew was performing a ferry flight from Alma Ata to Kuybyshev with an intermediate stop in Semipalatinsk. En route, the pilot in command deviated from the prescribed flight path to the east in order to circumvent an area of poor weather and overflew high mountains. As he was unable to gain sufficient height, the three engine aircraft stalled and crashed at a height of some 2,700 meters into the steep wall of a gorge near a pass over the khrebet Dzhil-Dhuta mountain range (3,050 meters), about 15 km northwest of Koksu. All six occupants were killed.
