- Date: July 16, 2021
- Aircraft: PZL-Mielec AN-28
- Location: Kedrovy, Tomsk oblast, Russia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Both engines shut down in icing after ice blocked the intakes while the pitot static heating system was off, because the crew did not switch it on manually. Crew fatigue, a faulty ice detector and flight at altitude without oxygen contributed.
An An 28 on a scheduled flight from Kedrovy to Tomsk lost power on both engines in icing conditions at about 12,000 feet. The crew could not restart them and made a forced landing in a peat bog in the taiga, where the aircraft overturned. All on board survived, with several injured, and the aircraft was written off.
