Narrative:The An-2 operated on a crop-spraying flight for the "Zauralny" sovkhoz (state farm) in the Kvarkeno district of the Orenburg region when the inexperienced pilots got distracted from aviating because he was listening to the weather forecast on the radio and writing it down. The aircraft continually lost height and eventually impacted a hill.
