- Date: July 13, 2002
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-24
- Location: Yakutsk-Intl (Platon Oyunsky), Republic of Yakutia (Sakha), Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The flight engineer's wrong landing gear lever action, the crew's missed final approach checks and missed gear warnings, an incomplete crew, a late controller go-around call and crew fatigue.
An Antonov An-24 on a crew training flight at Yakutsk landed with its gear still up after the flight engineer moved the gear lever the wrong way and did not confirm the indications. The crew skipped final approach checks and did not act on a late go-around call from the tower. The captain added power, but the tail struck the runway and the aircraft skidded about 1000 metres before stopping.
