A Mi-2 helicopter crashed in a forest and caught fire. The operator of the helicopter was a fish processing plant located in the Kamchatka region. Both occupants died in the crash.
Cause:
The most likely reason for the accident with the Mi-2 RA-15715 helicopter was the failure of the PIC to make a timely decision to return to the departure aerodrome or to land on a site selected from the air when the weather conditions worsened to values lower than those established for the VFR, which, when making a turn, led to a loss of control for the flight altitude and the collision of the aircraft with trees and the ground.
The most likely contributing factor was the PIC's insufficient skills in helicopter piloting using only flight instruments (out of sight of landmarks). The existing provisions of the air legislation do not guarantee the maintenance and regular testing of such skills.
