Narrative:Force-landed after one engine failed.
The Ju-52 operated on a positioning flight from Ashkhabad to Alma-Ata for overhaul by ARM-405. While en route near Repetek on the leg from Ashkhabad to Chardzhou (now Türkmenabat) the right engine failed.
The pilot decided to go around on landing at Chardzhou as he was not able to make out the landing T, being blinded by flying against the sun. The aircraft lost height and speed while flying a left turn and the aircraft collided with an irrigation canal and trees 4 km from the airfield. The landing gear separated, as well as the flaps and ailerons. Both outer engines broke off before the plane came to rest.
