670.2 kHz. At the same time, the operating frequency of the DPRS at Korsakov airfield was supposed to be 687 kHz, but a test measurement showed it was 684 kHz, even closer to the operating frequency of the civil airfield DPRS. The DPRS of both airfields are only 13.5 kilometers apart, and in combination with the small difference in frequencies, this led to cases where their signals overlapped, causing the call signs to interfere with each other. A minor error in setting the ARK-5 radio compass could easily lead the aircraft to the wrong station. At Bolshaya Elan and Korsakov airfields, there was no continuous monitoring of the nominal frequencies of the NDBs, although crews had repeatedly complained about errors in the operation of the Bolshaya Elan airfield DPRS. At Korsakov airfield, control was carried out only once in the last two or three months. Furthermore, the air traffic control service at Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk airport did not properly manage flights during cloud penetration and landing approaches, and did not adequately monitor the movement of airliners in the airport's airspace. Moreover, Bolshaya Elan airport lacked the radio-technical equipment that would have allowed ground controllers to monitor the position of aircraft in the airfield's airspace under difficult weather conditions. In addition, crews were not informed that the NDBs of both the civil and military airfields were operating simultaneously, and the flight supervisor did not require the crew to activate the RV-2. It is worth noting that prior to the crash of flight 971, there had already been two cases in May of that year where civil aircraft mistakenly approached the Korsakov airfield's outer marker, but the command of the Far Eastern Civil Aviation Directorate and the Khabarovsk Aviation Group did not take any measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

As a result, the airliner began descending and penetrating the clouds according to the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk airport approach procedure, but based on the Korsakov military airfield's DPRS. Additionally, the crew did not use the available radio altimeter, which led to the aircraft being dangerously close to the ground while flying over the hill, eventually crashing into the trees.
392:(09:50 local time), while flying on a heading of 10°, the Li-2 struck trees on the slope of a 460-meter hill. The aircraft then plowed through the trees for 128 meters before crashing into the ground at the summit of the hill, completely breaking apart up to frame 25 (half its length) and coming to rest upside down. The accident occurred near 433:
According to the commission's conclusions, the crash occurred due to a collision with terrain that was outside the crew's line of sight. This was caused by the crew's failure to notice that they had incorrectly set the frequency on the radio compass and subsequently did not listen to the call signs.

The examination of the wreckage revealed that at the time of the collision with the trees, the engines were running and the landing gear was extended. The ARK-5 radio compass was switched on and tuned to a frequency of 683 kHz, close to the operating frequency of the DPRS at Bolshaya Elan airport —
