The airplane departed Moscow on a local training flight with two pilots on board. En route, the crew encountered engine problems and was able to make an emergency landing near Tushino. Mechanics were called to make a check of the engine but nothing particular was noted and the crew was cleared for takeoff. Nevertheless, the captain took off with a mechanic on board to proceed with in-flight tests. Shortly after takeoff, at a height of about 100-150 metres, the airplane entered an uncontrolled descent and crashed, killing both occupants.
