Description
The Antonov stalled and crashed on takeoff from an airstrip of the Oktyabr’ collective farm. Lift-off was attempted at too low a speed. Conclusion: the flight accident occurred due to the aircraft taking off at low speed, reaching supercritical angles of attack and subsequent stalling on the left wing. This was a consequence of the crew’s failure to take into account the tailwind during takeoff.
