The cause of the accident was the engine’s self-shutdown in flight at an altitude of about 100 m when inspecting a forest fire, which led to an emergency landing on the forest and significant damage to the aircraft. Self-shutdown of the engine was most likely due to the energetic evolution of the aircraft during the descent and turns when inspecting the borders of a forest fire, which, with a small amount of fuel, led to the exposure of the fuel tank inlet fittings and the formation of an air plug in the fuel line.
The accident was caused by a combination of the following unfavorable factors:
- flying along the border of a forest fire at an altitude less than established, which excluded the possibility of starting the engine when it refused to fly;
- non-compliance with the limitations of the RLE of an aircraft for piloting aircraft with a small remaining fuel.
