- Date: May 15, 2013
- Aircraft: PZL-Mielec AN-2
- Location: Chernolesskoye, Stavropol Krai, Russia
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Late entry into climb over a power transmission line, probably linked to the pilot's impaired condition from a disrupted rest routine. The wires lacked day marking.
An An-2 crop-dusting aircraft operated by Aviakompaniya Annushka was flying at about 9 metres near Chernolesskoye in Stavropol Krai when it climbed into a power line and a concrete pylon. It travelled about 99 metres further and crashed in a field, burning. The single pilot was killed.
