- Date: April 28, 2011
- Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-145
- Location: Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Moscow oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Suspected brake failure: the braking system did not decelerate the aircraft after touchdown. The sources reviewed do not give a confirmed final finding.
A Dniproavia ERJ-145 on a scheduled flight from Dnipropetrovsk landed at Moscow Sheremetyevo. Braking did not slow the jet as expected, even after the emergency brakes were applied, so it reached the end of the runway too fast and ground looped onto grass where the landing gear collapsed. All 34 people on board got out without injury, and the aircraft was written off.
