Superjet Failed to Climb

摘要

Icelandic Investigators have determined that the Sukhoi Superjet 100 that suffered a wheels-up landing at Keflavik airport had intended to 'go-around' and the pilots had selected the gear-up. However, the aircraft failed to achieve a positive rate of climb and impacted the runway on July 21. The investigation authority said the aircraft was "close" to its maximum operating weight and flying in crosswinds as it performed the approach. The purpose of the exercise was to conduct a "low pass", the authority added.
