Narrative:The An-2 operated on a flight from the ice of the lagoon at Uelen to Provideniya in support of the international expedition "Great Circle". The aircraft pitched up during takeoff, lost speed and stalled at a height of some 30 metres. It came down on the snow-covered frozen surface of the Uelen Lagoon 475 metres after lift-off. It appeared that the MTOW had been exceeded by 238 kg and
the centre of gravity was beyond the aft limit.
