- Location: Pskov AFB, Pskov oblast, Russia

- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb

A Quest Kodiak 100 (N642RM) on a ferry flight from the USA to a landing site near Ryazan was taking off from Pskov on 6 July 2015 when the crew reported engine trouble during a left climbing turn. They glided and failed to restart the engine, then made a forced landing in a marshy area with bushes and trees, and the aircraft was significantly damaged without fire. The Interstate Aviation Committee found no engine, rotor or fuel system fault, and the flight data card was lost so the cause could not be fully established.
