- Date: December 30, 2004
- Aircraft: Ilyushin II-76
- Location: Dushanbe, Districts of Republican Subordination, Tajikistan
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Crew decision to continue an approach below minima, poor crew coordination in the final approach, and deficient weather support, as stated in the official findings.
A chartered Il-76 carrying humanitarian aid from Billund to Kabul continued an approach below minima in fog and low cloud. It descended below the glide path and its left undercarriage struck the ground short of the Kabul runway. The crew climbed away, flew a low pass at Dushanbe so controllers could see the damage, and landed there.
