From the Wikipedia article
Rus Flight 9633 refers to the crash involving an IL-76TD aircraft operated by Rus Airlines from Chkalovsky Airport to Taiyuan Wusu Airport with intermediate stops at Alykel Airport and Bratsk Airport. On July 14, 2001, the plane crashed a few seconds after takeoff from Chkalovsky Airport. All 10 people on board were killed.
Investigation and cause
Causes of crash
It was noted during the course of the investigation that modulation of the stabilizer during takeoff was a repeated violation of the flight manual by the PIC. This, combined with the lack of a correct weight and balance sheet (which would have provided a set value for the stabilizer to compensate for the centre of gravity of the aircraft) resulted in the crew modulating the stabilizer value, which provides relief on the elevator. The lowering of the stabilizer value dropped the nose of the aircraft and due to the low altitude, it was irreversible, resulting into a controlled flight into terrain.
