Narrative:The Antonov An-2 hit a concrete post and power lines during an aerial application flight and crashed. Both occupants died from injuries sustained in the crash. The plane caught fire after the crash.
Probable Cause:
The cause of the accident with the An-2 RA-40851 aircraft was the collision of the aircraft with a reinforced concrete support and power transmission lines in a controlled flight while performing the aerial application at an extremely low altitude.
The contributing factors most likely were:
- field processing when the sun is less than 15° above the horizon and the sun's heading angle is less than 30°;
- insufficient prudence of the PIC when performing a VFR flight for aerial application;
- failure of the pilot to take into account the presence of artificial obstacles in the flight area;
- lack of marking of power lines.
