Investigation and cause

Causes

The person responsible for the accident was named as the chief of Chokurdakh airfield, D. I. Mikhaylov, who violated the "Manual of Flight Service on the Marine Lines of the Civil Air Fleet", since he did not organise an inspection of the airport's water area before the aircraft's take-off.
