On July 31, 1992, the Yakovlev Yak-42D overran runway 06 during takeoff and impacted an embankment at 210 kilometres per hour (110 kn; 130 mph), 420 metres (1,380 ft) from the threshold.

At about 3:05 pm the aircraft headed for the runway 06 and, after a minute delay, started its take-off roll.

The Yak-42 started to lift off the ground and began to climb, however the aircraft failed to respond to controls and slammed back down onto the runway.

The takeoff was aborted and the pilots initiated an emergency braking procedure, however the aircraft was unable to stop with the remaining runway distance.

[note 1][1][4][5] Investigators determined that the crew did not prepare the flight according to the airline's procedures and did not follow the pre-takeoff checklist.
