The aircraft departed Moscow on February 19 to be delivered to its new base in Tashkent. Intermediate stops were scheduled in Penza, Samara and Orenburg. On the leg from Samara to Orenburg, after a trip of about 205 km, the crew encountered engine problems and made an emergency landing. Due to technical problems, poor weather conditions and awaiting fuel from Orenburg, the crew was stuck for 18 days. Following several engine tests and after all defaults were eliminated, the crew took off on March 11 back to Samara. While flying at a height of 250-300 metres, the engine failed again. The pilot attempted an emergency landing and initiated a turn when the aircraft stalled and crashed in a wooded area located 3 km from the Zalivnaya Station.
