The appearance of the aircraft in a newlivery with tail number 73054 in the airspace of St. Petersburg is crucial for the development of the MC-21 program. The aircraft 73054 will be used to verify the accuracy of the Russian airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS, TCAS).
The task of the aircraft 73054 is to fly near other aircraft equipped with various types of TCAS, from Western to domestic models. During these flights, the system installed on the MC-21 must correctly detect potential threats and provide pilots with recommendations for preventing collisions. It is important to note that the correct operation of the ACAS is considered a prerequisite for obtaining a type certificate and subsequent operation of the aircraft.
Pulkovo Airport is the second busiest after the three airports of the Moscow aviation hub. Overloaded traffic is an ideal environment for testing the aircraft in conditions of intense air traffic.
