The Investigation team of the Interstate Aviation Committee has completed the investigation of the accident with «C-32» (FVSP) RA-0314G aircraft owned by "Sport club "Energetic-AVIA" NPO occurred in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia, RF) on August 1, 2015.

Most probably the accident with «C-32» RA-0314G aircraft (FVSP) was caused by the speed loss and stall when performing the one-eighty approach (180 degree turn) immediately after take-off.

PIC's decision to return to the departure airport was caused by insufficient engine apparent power. Lack of engine power most probably caused fuel system leakage that resulted in fuel-air mixture icing.

Fuel system pressure-sealing most probably was caused by the leakage at the junction of manual fuel pump (bulb) and fuel-supply connection.

PIC's decision to perform straigt ahead emergency landing most probably could reduce the severity of the accident result.

The appropriate safety recommendations based on the investigation results were developed.
