- Date: June 22, 1992
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-12
- Location: Norilsk-Alykel, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia
- Fatalities: 10
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Wrong approach configuration: the aircraft drifted from the glide path and the approach centerline, the go-around was started too late, and crew coordination was poor in deteriorating weather.
An An-12 cargo flight from Andijan via Omsk and Igarka to Norilsk crashed during an approach in rain and low cloud on 22 June 1992. On short final the crew realized the aircraft was well left of the runway centerline, and a late go-around at a very high pitch attitude caused a stall, a bounce and a crash about 1,300 m beyond the runway end. Ten occupants were killed and two were seriously injured.
