- Date: November 1, 1995
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-24
- Location: Shymkent, South Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Loss of control on final approach caused by poor crew coordination during the simulated engine failure.
During a local training flight at Shymkent, the instructor simulated an engine failure on approach by shutting one engine down. The flight engineer misread a request for full power and shut down the second engine, and the An-24 hit the ground about 1,100 metres short of the runway. All four occupants were injured and the aircraft was written off.
