- Date: July 9, 2006
- Aircraft: Airbus A310
- Location: Irkutsk-Intl, Irkutsk oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 125
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Erroneous and uncontrolled crew actions during rollout: the captain inadvertently advanced the throttle of the engine whose reverser was deactivated, and the co-pilot did not adequately monitor speed and engine parameters, so the crew did not correct the situation in time.
A Sibir Airbus A310 flying Moscow Domodedovo to Irkutsk landed normally on runway 30, but during rollout the engine thrust was mismanaged. One engine with a deactivated thrust reverser was advanced to forward thrust, and the aircraft left the runway at about 180 km/h, hit the perimeter barrier and buildings, and burned. 125 people died.
