- Date: December 4, 2010
- Aircraft: Tupolev TU-154
- Location: Moscow-Domodedovo, Moscow oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Crew error. The flight engineer inadvertently switched off the fuel booster pumps, causing fuel starvation, engine shutdowns and loss of electrical power. The crew then landed with two engines inoperative in a complex wind environment, with poor crew coordination, weak leadership and insufficient emergency training.
Dagestan Airlines flight 372 lost two engines in cruise shortly after leaving Vnukovo for Makhachkala and was cleared back to Domodedovo. On the approach it descended below cloud misaligned with the runway, touched down hard to the right of runway 32R, struck an earth mound and broke in two. Two passengers were killed and most of the other occupants were injured.
