Sukhoi Superjet stopped in Pulkovo: a foreign object got into the SaM146 engine

Smoke appeared in the cabin of the aircraft

The SSJ-100 aircraft with tail number RA-89126 of the «Rossiya» airline was stopped on the taxiway at Pulkovo Airport after the appearance of a burning smell with signs of smoke in the cabin. An alarm was promptly announced at the air harbor and an emergency rescue team was called.

A message about the failure of the air cooling device in the right line of the air conditioning system was displayed on the pilots' warning display.

The pilots shut down the problematic line, after which the smell of burning decreased, and then stopped the plane on the taxiway for the regular disembarkation of 80 passengers and their subsequent delivery to the terminal.

After the post-flight inspection of the Superjet 100, the engineering and technical personnel discovered a foreign object in the area of the swivel flap of the first engine's reversing device. The aircraft was suspended from operation for a more detailed inspection of the engine and the performance of work.

Last week, a Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft on a flight from Vladivostok to Blagoveshchensk made an emergency landing at Khabarovsk Airport after a part of the SaM146 engine casing was torn off right in flight. As a reminder, the discussion of replacing the French-Russian unit with the domestic PD-8 is already underway.
