- Date: November 1, 2009
- Aircraft: Ilyushin II-76
- Location: Mirny, Republic of Yakutia (Sakha), Russia
- Fatalities: 11
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The right aileron locking mechanism stayed engaged after the crew had attempted to disengage it, so the aileron could not be moved and the aircraft rolled out of control after takeoff.
Shortly after takeoff from Mirny, a Russian Ministry of the Interior Il-76 rolled to the right and continued to roll until it crashed about 1,900 metres beyond the runway end. The right aileron had remained locked, so the crew could not counter the bank. All 11 occupants were killed.
