- Date: February 26, 2019
- Aircraft: Gulfstream G200
- Location: Moscow-Sheremetyevo, Moscow oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Asymmetric thrust reverser use, with the right reverser stowed while the left stayed at maximum reverse, combined with crosswind and possible ice on the aircraft, led to loss of directional control
A SilkWay Business Aviation Gulfstream G200 landed at Moscow Sheremetyevo on a charter flight from Baku and veered off runway 24C during the landing roll after a large leftward swing. The right main gear was torn off in soft ground and the aircraft stopped in a snow covered area, and all six occupants evacuated safely. The Interstate Aviation Committee concluded that the pilot stowed the right thrust reverser while the left remained at maximum reverse, creating a strong turning moment to the left.
