- Date: March 30, 1993
- Aircraft: Beriev Be-12
- Location: Yuzhno-Kurilsk (Kuril Island), Sakhalin oblast, Russia

- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew miscalculated speed and propeller pitch on approach, causing a fast landing and a turn in shallow water that led to the float loss and sandbank collision.
A Beriev Be-12 seaplane on a scheduled flight from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk landed at excessive speed at Yuzhno-Kurilsk. While turning in shallow water, the right float was torn off and the hull struck a sandbank, flooding the cabin. All occupants escaped uninjured and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
