Investigation and cause
Investigation
As the investigation found, the crew were converting from the An-2. The instructor had few flying hours on the L-410 and had also previously flown the An-2. All of them had experience mainly of visual flights only. In addition, the attitude indicator of the L-410 differed very greatly from the An-2 attitude indicator they were used to, and at high bank angles it stopped giving correct readings.
