Incidents[edit]
A Mil Mi-8T (RA-24209) cargo flight was at an altitude of 850 meters the crew made an emergency landing in a mountainous area in the upper reaches of the river Zhgachka, during which the helicopter collided with the ground and partially collapsed. The co-pilot and flight engineer were wounded. The captain phoned for help and, after helping the wounded, went back into the helicopter where he was later found dead - from suicide by hanging. According to preliminary information, the reason for a forced landing was either an ice buildup or overloading of the helicopter.[5] Subsequent investigation revealed ice to be the cause of stalling with the helicopter's altitude too low for it to regain height on restarting.[6]
