On February 6, 2025, a Tecnam P2002JF Sierra light aircraft, registered as RA-01808 and operated by Aero Region Training, crashed near Myachkovo Airfield in the Ramensky District of the Moscow region, Russia. The aircraft was on a training flight when it went down. The flight involved two pilots, identified as instructors Kiyashko V. and Ivantsov V. Both occupants sustained fatal injuries, and the aircraft was destroyed upon impact. The crash occurred during daylight hours, and emergency services were alerted soon after the incident. Eyewitness accounts and initial reports indicate that the aircraft impacted the ground under unknown circumstances. The crash site was located in a field south of Myachkovo Airfield, with no reported ground casualties or damage to surrounding infrastructure. The aircraft caught fire upon impact, prompting a response from 26 emergency personnel and eight firefighting units. The fire was extinguished shortly after responders arrived on the scene. Officials from the Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor’s Office and the Western Interregional Investigative Department have launched an investigation into the crash. The Tecnam P2002JF Sierra is an Italian-manufactured, two-seat training aircraft designed for general aviation and pilot instruction. The aircraft involved in this accident was manufactured in 2011 and had been operating as part of a training fleet. It had taken off from Myachkovo Airfield for what was meant to be a routine training exercise before the incident occurred. The exact sequence of events leading to the crash is currently unknown, and investigators are reviewing aircraft maintenance records and operational history to determine its airworthiness at the time of the accident. At this stage, the cause of the crash remains undetermined. There were no immediate reports of distress signals or known technical malfunctions prior to the incident. Weather conditions at the time of the crash were reported as stable, with no significant meteorological disturbances that could have directly contributed to the accident. Investigators are considering human factors, mechanical failure, or operational error as possible causes. The recovery of flight data and communication logs will be crucial in determining the underlying factors behind the aircraft’s sudden loss of control. The investigation is ongoing, with Russian aviation authorities conducting a thorough examination of the wreckage, pilot records, and communication logs. The Moscow Transport Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that an aviation safety review is underway. Findings from the investigation will contribute to improved training protocols and operational safety measures for flight schools operating similar aircraft. The results will be closely monitored by both local and international aviation regulatory bodies to assess broader implications for pilot training standards.
