- Date: October 26, 2009
- Aircraft: BAe 125
- Location: Minsk-2, Minsk voblast, Belarus
- Fatalities: 5
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Controlled flight into terrain: the crew did not go around or divert when the ground could not be seen below decision height and ignored repeated TAWS alarms. Wrong ILS frequency selection, poor crew resource management and training deficiencies were contributing factors.
A BAe 125-800 flying a night charter from Moscow-Vnukovo to Minsk-2 crashed into a forest about 3 km short of the runway during an ILS approach in poor visibility. The crew did not perform a missed approach despite TAWS warnings, and the aircraft was destroyed by a post-crash fire. All five occupants were killed.
