Narrative:
The An-2 departed Magadan Airport on a flight to Seymchan and Omsukchan. The weather conditions on the route were fine. On board were 6 passengers (two of them children), 2 crew members and 253 kg of cargo. Having passed the village of Strelka, the captain decided to change the route without permission, setting course directly to Omsukchan. En route the flight encountered deteriorating weather. Instead of returning to Seymchan, the captain decided to fly along the gorge between the clouds and the mountain range. Under the clouds, the plane entered a precipitation zone in the form of snow with icing conditions.
The aircraft was not able to clear the summit of a 1400 m mountain. The main landing gear struts hit the side of the mountain and were torn away, the lower wings and the propeller received significant damage. The fuselage sustained significant damage.
