On November 19, a Superjet 100 aircraft belonging to Yamal Airlines was unable to take off from Salekhard after the nose of the fuselage iced up. The crew had to make a decision to brake at a speed of about 240 km/h.
During acceleration, the crew saw a warning message about the difference in airspeed readings between the captain and the co-pilot.
Upon inspection, barrier ice was found on both sides of the nose of the fuselage. At the same time, before the flight from Salekhard to Moscow, the aircraft underwent an anti-icing procedure.
At the airport, there was a blizzard during takeoff, with heavy snow and a temperature of up to -9 degrees. After removing the barrier ice and repeating the anti-icing treatment, the crew continued the flight with a two-hour delay. The flight went without incident.
As a reminder, the Superjet 100 is equipped with SaM146 engines. Aviation expert Andrei Velichko explained to "Perviy Technicheskiy" what the main difficulty of their re-motorization to domestic PD-8 is.
