- Date: January 2, 2006
- Aircraft: BAe 125
- Location: Kharkiv-Osnova, Kharkiv oblast, Ukraine
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Asymmetric flap deployment caused by a failure of the flap synchronization system, due to the failure of a drive pinion, led to loss of control.
A BAe 125-700A positioning to Kharkiv-Osnova lost control on final approach after its flaps deployed asymmetrically. The right flap reached 20 degrees while the left reached only 6 degrees, and the aircraft rolled left into an uncontrolled descent. It crashed into Lake Komsomolsk and broke up, and all three crew died.
