- Date: November 25, 2012
- Aircraft: PZL-Mielec AN-2
- Location: Yugorsk, Khantia-Mansia okrug, Russia
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The aircraft stalled in a steep turn back toward the runway after an engine failure. The engine failure came from fuel-related cylinder damage caused by non-approved gasoline, and partial loss of the pilot's control skill contributed.
An An-2 on a local skydiving flight from Yugorsk lost engine power at about 80 metres after takeoff. The pilot turned back toward the runway in a steep left turn, the aircraft stalled and it crashed in a snow-covered field and burned. One passenger was killed and others were injured.
