- Date: August 27, 1992
- Aircraft: Tupolev TU-134
- Location: Ivanovo-Yuzhny, Ivanovo oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 84
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Crew error: the captain continued an unstabilised approach in the wrong configuration, ignored crew alerts and GPWS warnings, and did not go around. Lack of ATC assistance was also a factor.
An Aeroflot Tu-134A flying Mineralnye Vody to Ivanovo via Donetsk was on night approach in poor weather when it was too high and too fast and misaligned with the glide path. The captain continued the approach despite warnings from the crew, and the left wing struck a residential building before the aircraft crashed and burned. All 84 people on board died.
