[1][2] The aircraft was operating flight E-46 on the route Volgograd — Nalchik — Leninakan, piloted by a crew with Captain (PIC) R.G.However, the response to commands to return to the designated flight path (DFP) was slow, and the aircraft followed parallel to it, 10 kilometers from the route.Not knowing their actual position, the pilots soon reported passing the control boundary at 21 kilometers and that conditions were suitable for visual flight.[1] At 18:09, while performing a right turn with a 13° bank at a course of 178°, the Yak-40 crashed into the slope of Mount Shishtepe at an altitude of 2,523 meters at a speed of 330 km/h, 41 kilometers northeast of Leninakan Airport (between Spitak and Stepanavan, Lori Province).The aircraft was completely destroyed on impact, and all 21 people on board — 4 crew members and 17 passengers — were killed.
