U6-8986 from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) to Ekaterinburg (Russia), was climbing out of Bishkek's runway 08 when the crew stopped the climb at about 8000 feet due to a burning odour and strange sounds from the avionics bay in the cockpit. The crew subsequently received indication of the failure of one of the avionics bay's fans. The aircraft returned to Bishkek for a safe landing on runway 08 about 8 minutes after departure.
The aircraft remained on the ground in Bishkek for 20 hours, then departed again and completed the flight to Ekaterinburg with a delay of about 20 hours.
