A Robinson R66 helicopter crashed near the "Jerzyk" mountain in the village of Maly Utrish in the Anapa district of the Krasnodar Territory. The pilot died in the crash.
Conclusion
The cause of the R-66 RA-05750 helicopter crash was most probably the loss of spatial orientation by the pilot when flying at night at a lower than safe altitude. The reason for the loss of orientation was that the helicopter was in flight conditions with no visibility of the natural horizon line and ground reference points during maneuvers.
A contributing factor may have been the performance of the flight in a state of fatigue.
