- Date: July 14, 1992
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-12
- Location: Irkutsk, Irkutsk oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Fuel exhaustion after the crew shut down engines to conserve fuel and declined an en-route refuelling stop.
An An-12 cargo flight from Magadan to Irkutsk skipped a refuelling stop for financial reasons and could not land at Bratsk because of weather. The crew shut down two engines to save fuel, and the other two engines flamed out from fuel exhaustion while descending toward Irkutsk. The aircraft belly landed in an open field 48 km from the airport and broke in two. All seven aboard survived.
