- Date: March 29, 2006
- Aircraft: Ilyushin II-62
- Location: Moscow-Domodedovo, Moscow oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The flight engineer's erroneous reverse-thrust actions during landing, aggravated by weak captain leadership, poor crew discipline and gaps in procedures.
An Il-62M on a positioning flight from Mitiga to Moscow Domodedovo for overhaul touched down far past the threshold at high speed. The flight engineer failed to set the engines correctly for reverse thrust, and the jet overran, lost its undercarriage and broke in three. Two of the six people aboard were injured and the rest were unhurt.
