Crashed in river.
Conclusion:
The cause of the calidus gyroplane crash, was that it flew at an extremely low altitude (about 10 m) over the Desna river bed, which caused it to collide with the wires of two nearby power lines, destroying the gyroplane and then flooding it.
The most likely contributing factors were:
- Pilot indiscipline, expressed in violation of the instruction of the ATC to maintain flight altitude along the route (300 m);
- unsatisfactory study of the flight area with identification of natural and artificial obstacles;
- insufficient diligence of the pilot in flight;
- absence of markings and low visibility of power line wires against the background of the bridge and the river surface.
