Chronology of events:

As a result of fire development in the tail section of the engine nacelle, thermal destruction of the attachments of the power trunnion struts to the front wing spar occurred, causing the destruction of the power farm and separation in the 44 minute of flight (in 19: 21: 40) of the left power unit with the engine nacelle. In 19: 21: 55, the dispatcher, at the request of the crew, gave the aircraft a seat - 114 km from the Tula airport with the azimuth 260 °, direct bearing of 80 °, and allowed further reductions.

After separating the engine, the crew, being at an altitude of 3 000 m in the clouds, realizing the impossibility of flying to the aerodrome, decided on a forced landing outside the aerodrome. The aircraft remained stable and manageable. For a rapid loss of altitude, the crew led him into an energetic decline with the right bank. Vertical speed during the descent exceeded 100 m / s. In the current situation, as a result of the crew's distraction from instrument piloting, there was a loss of spatial orientation. At an altitude of 300 m, the airplane emerged from the cloudiness in an inverted position and in 19: 20: 50 at a speed of 612 km / h with a trajectory angle of about 80 ° collided with the ground at 12 km to the east-north-east of Kozelsk.

The plane was found at 3,5 km northeast of Sosenskiy, destroyed partially and partially burnt (54 ° 05'30 'S, 36 ° 00'00 "VD) on a rough terrain that overgrew a mixed forest with a trunk diameter up to 50 cm and the height of trees to 30 m. At the edge of the swamp, at the site of the disaster, a funnel with a depth of up to 2,5 m and a diameter of 30x8 m appeared and a fire appeared. The scatter of debris in the sector of 20-350 degrees from the funnel was up to 140 m. The left engine fell in the territory of Sosenskiy n / a with an azimuth of 230 degrees in 3,5 km from the scene. The sock of the middle left part of the wing is revealed on the section between the places of fall of the fuselage and the engine at a distance of 140 m in the direction of 105 degrees.

Current weather for the crash site 19: 00 - stratocumulus clouds 10 points, thick haze, height m 300, 3 wind m / s, 210 degree visibility 1000 m, temperature + 11 ° C.
