ASX Accident Report
At 13:38 local time on 28 June 2025, a privately-owned Yakovlev Yak-18T light aircraft, registration RA-0856G (manufacturer’s serial 7201614), departed Voskresensk-Severka Airfield near Moscow without an approved flight plan and crashed in a cultivated field near the village of Panovo, roughly 20 km south-east of Kolomna in the Moscow Region. The aircraft, reported to be on a recreational flight initiated by two acquaintances of its owner, entered a low-level aerobatic barrel-roll manoeuvre during which it lost control, impacted the ground, and was rapidly consumed by fire. All four occupants - a 31-year-old pilot rated only for private flying and three passengers - suffered fatal injuries; there were no casualties on the ground and no post-impact damage beyond the crash site.
Records show the Yak-18T had been built in 1977 and, although recently refurbished, had not yet obtained a renewed certificate of airworthiness; the owner, a Gazprom Avia airline pilot, was away on duty at the time of the accident. Witness reports and preliminary messaging from emergency-services channels suggest the flight departed without tower clearance and that the aircraft either experienced a power interruption during the roll or exceeded its structural limits, leading to an unrecoverable dive. Investigators are focusing on three factors: mechanical integrity of the AI-14 engine and fuel system, pilot proficiency in aerobatic flight, and organisational negligence in permitting an uncertified aircraft to operate with passengers. Combined, these elements illustrate how informal recreational use, inadequate regulatory compliance, and possible technical malfunction converged to produce a fatal loss-of-control event in daylight visual meteorological conditions.
