- Date: August 3, 2020
- Aircraft: Antonov AN-74
- Location: Gao, Gao, Mali
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Runway overrun after landing on an unpowered aircraft with flaps retracted and no spoilers or reversers, with brake failure from use above the FCOM speed limits.
A UTair An 74TK 100 flying for the UN mission in Mali lost both generators on the way from Bamako to Gao and landed with the gear lowered manually on a wet runway. The aircraft overran the runway, lost its undercarriage and stopped on waterlogged ground, and was damaged beyond repair. The investigation found the wheel brakes failed after the crew used them at speeds far above the manual limits.
