According to the schedule, the departure on the route Ulan-Ude-Nizhneangarsk was planned for 04:50 UTC on June 26, 2019, but due to weather conditions at the Nizhneangarsk Airport (were worse than the minimum), the departure of flight 200 was initially postponed every hour, and then postponed to 00:30 UTC on June 27, 2019. Before the flight, the crew rested at the Polet Hotel, located in close proximity to the airport.

At 01:03 UTC, flight 200 departed from Ulan-Ude, the PIC (pilot in command) performed takeoff. At 02:08 UTC, the crew reported the start of the descent and requested landing on a heading of 45°. The air traffic controller cleared the flight to approach runway 23 (magnetic landing heading 225°). At 02:11 UTC, engine number 1 (left) failed during the descent, the crew performed actions to feather the propeller, turned off the autopilot and reported to the control tower controller.

According to the interim report it was determined that while descending to 10,000 feet (3,000 m) approximately 34 nautical miles (63 km) from the airport, the left engine failed due to reduced oil pressure. The captain took control of the aircraft, disengaged the autopilot, and verified the engine's automatic feathering. The aircraft continued its approach and landed on runway 23, but began to deviate to the right after touchdown, veered off the runway, crossed the airport fence, collided with a building, and caught fire. The flight attendant evacuated the passengers through the rear exits. The first officer was unable to save the captain and flight engineer, who were trapped and showed no signs of life. The first officer exited through the left front emergency hatch. [6]

At the same time, the IAC confirmed that due to the fact that the captain of the crew became ill before the flight, the airline replaced him with an inspector pilot. The IAC also recommended that airlines conduct a one-time check of the technical condition and operability of the brake systems in accordance with the maintenance regulations on An-24 and An-26 aircraft. The committee also recommended that flight crews additionally study the process of approaching and landing with one failed engine on An-24 aircraft. [6]
