- Date: March 22, 2010
- Aircraft: Tupolev TU-204
- Location: Moscow-Domodedovo, Moscow oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew flew the approach below minimums with a defective flight computer, did not go around when no visual contact was established, and showed poor crew resource management. Contributing factors included insufficient training and lack of control over crew activities.
A Tu-204-100 ferry flight returning empty from Hurghada to Moscow Domodedovo approached in fog. After the flight computer failed, the crew continued below minimums without visual contact with the runway and did not go around. The aircraft descended through trees about 1,450 m short of the runway and was destroyed, with all eight occupants injured.
