- Date: December 5, 1999
- Aircraft: Ilyushin II-114
- Location: Moscow-Domodedovo, Moscow oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 5
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The rudder was blocked in the full left position before takeoff, probably due to crosswinds encountered during taxi.
An Ilyushin Il-114 cargo flight from Moscow-Domodedovo to Tashkent went out of control shortly after liftoff. Its rudder had jammed at full left during taxi in strong crosswinds, and the crew took off instead of returning to the apron for inspection. The aircraft crashed into woods about 365 metres past the runway end, killing five and seriously injuring two.
