A Mil Mi-2 helicopter crashed in a wooded area near Kostroma-Sokerkino Airport, Russia.
Four people - two paramedics and two pilots - were injured but a patient died.
Conclusion
The aviation accident involving the Mi-2 helicopter RA-14185 occurred at night, in weather conditions not suitable for VFR flight, due to the loss of spatial orientation by the captain, caused by the lack of visual contact with ground landmarks and failure to transition to instrument flying, resulting in a left bank, descent of the helicopter until collision with the ground surface. Contributing factors, most likely, were:
- The captain's decision to proceed with the flight in weather conditions not suitable for VFR flight at night;
- The captain's failure to make a timely decision to return to the departure aerodrome, divert to an alternate aerodrome, land at a helipad selected from the air, or transition to instrument flight when the actual weather conditions deteriorated below the prescribed VFR minimums at night;
- The captain's lack of skills in performing basic flight maneuvers and recovering the aircraft from unusual attitudes using only basic flight instruments;
- The operator's failure to assess the captain's skills in performing basic flight maneuvers and recovering the aircraft from unusual attitudes using only basic flight instruments during the captain's qualification check after employment.
