From the Wikipedia article
Khabarovsk Airlines Flight 463 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Nikolayevsk-on-Amur Airport to Nelkan Airport in Russia. On 15 November 2017 the Let L-410 Turbolet operating the flight crashed short of the runway at Nelkan Airport, killing all but one of the seven people on board. The sole survivor was a three-year-old girl who sustained serious injuries. The crash was caused by a malfunction of the right engine's propeller.
Accident
During approach to runway 04 at Nelkan airport, the aircraft suddenly lost speed, rolled 180 degrees to the left, and crashed into a forest 2 km from the runway. Both pilots (who were also the only crew members on board) and four of the five passengers on board were killed. There were no fatalities on the ground.
Investigation and cause
Investigation
The Interstate Aviation Committee (Межгосударственный авиационный комитет) investigated the accident with assistance from the Czech Air Accidents Investigation Institute (Ústav pro odborné zjišťování příčin leteckých nehod), representing the state of manufacture of the aircraft. A preliminary report was released on 22 December 2017. The final report was released in August 2019. The cause of the accident was that the propeller on the right hand engine had gone into negative pitch in flight, leading to a loss of control. Twenty-four safety recommendations were made.
