Chronology of events:

The flight mechanic saw a red burning lamp on the approach landing and shouted, giving way to panic: "In the second round, the chassis did not reach!". The red lamp burned because it did not put the handle of the mechanical chassis lock in the "locked" position, and the crane handle of the chassis was in neutral position. The commander of the crew, also giving way to panic, left on one engine for a second round from an altitude of 1 m. Due to the depleted mixture depletion mode, the right engine overheated.
