Chronology of events:

The plane performed a charter flight with miners and members of their families. Before the decrease, the crew was prepared for landing on the 10 strip, but received instructions for landing in a reverse course - to the 28 strip. Two attempts by the crew to request a landing approach on the 10 lane were not understood due to language difficulties. The aircraft dived to the left at the approach approach to 3700 m from the circuit. The airplane after the fourth turn crossed the glide path and subsequently evaded to 2 800 m to the right. At an altitude of 1500 m above sea level, the crew began to turn on the glide path and then released the flaps. But the plane did not come out to the glide path, but continued the descent to the right of it by a course approximately parallel to the glide path. Then, at 3700 on the right of the glide path, the crew performed a series of dodges, trying to get out on it. The plane over the mountainous region was at a dangerous height in the turbulence zone. For 9 seconds from the disaster, the SOS worked. The crew began climbing, but the plane collided with the slope of Mount Operafjellet at an altitude of 907 m, located at 3700 on the right glide path at a distance of 14200 m from the entrance end of the strip. The weather is cloudy with tears, rain.
