- Date: November 22, 2015
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-300
- Location: Osh, Osh City, Kyrgyzstan
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: IAC: The crew left Bishkek for Osh without considering the deteriorating weather forecast; the captain's missed approach competence was limited to simulator training; the crew did not follow missed approach procedures; the captain's wrong actions at the threshold disrupted the go around; the copilot did not correct them; fatigue may have caused somatogravic illusions after a duty period above 13 hours.
A Boeing 737 300 operated by Avia Traffic Company landed hard at Osh on 22 November 2015 in fog after the crew had diverted to Bishkek and then returned to Osh. Both main landing gears sheared off, the left engine was torn away and the aircraft skidded off the runway. The Interstate Aviation Committee found that the crew left Bishkek without considering deteriorating weather and that the captain's actions disrupted a go around.
