The Antonov 2 plane, belonging to the Amur organization of Russia's Sports & Technology Society was charted for a flight from Ekimchan to Chumikan via Udskoye. The airplane never arrived at Udskoye and was declared missing. Low clouds, rain and thunderstorms made searching for the plane difficult. The wreckage was found after a 12-day search. The aircraft had flown into Mt. Bryus (1,767 m) of the Selemja range.
While flying in the fog the crew lost orientation to the ground some eight minutes after takeoff. It struck Mount Bryus at an elevation of 1,560 m.
