Narrative:The IL-14 operated on a passenger service from Baku, Azerbaijan to Moscow-Vnukovo Airport with en route stops at Makhachkala, Astrakhan and Stalingrad (now named Volgograd).
The flight left Stalingrad at 14:20 but after almost two hours in flight, the crew were told that Vnukovo Airport was closed due to poor weather. They elected to return to Stalingrad. At 18:50 the crew took off for the second flight to Vnukovo. Weather at Vnukovo was still marginal with a cloud base at 70 m and a visibility of 1,5 / 2 km. The crew of another IL-14, reported the bottom edge of the cloud cover at 50-60 m. At an altitude of 900 m the flight was cleared to approach runway 2. The airplane descended until striking trees located 1400 m short of the runway. It crashed into a forest and burned. One passenger survived the accident.
