Description

An Antonov 2R sustained substantial damage in a forced landing in a wooded area, 60 km from Bratsk, Irkutsk Region, Russia following a loss of engine power. One crew member was injured. The crash of An-2 RA-35141 aircraft occurred during the emergency landing on a forest firebreak. The landing was forced by the in-flight engine power loss as a result of the destruction of the 62.06.02 bronze hub pouring of the master rod big end of the crank mechanism.
