Aeroflot SU95 at Krakow and Warsaw on Sep 1st 2013, flapless landing

[Ptkay]

Just another blow for the Russian "Superjet".

An Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet 100-95, registration RA-89005 performing flight SU-2004 from Moscow Sheremetyevo (Russia) to Krakow (Poland) with 74 people on board, was on approach to Krakow when the crew received indication of a slats malfunction, stopped the descent at 4000 feet, worked the relevant checklists and decided to divert to Warsaw (Poland) for a flaps up landing. The aircraft climbed to FL100 for the diversion and landed safely on Warsaw's runway 33 at a higher than normal speed about 75 minutes after aborting the approach to Krakow.

Rosaviatsia reported the crew opted to divert to Warsaw due to the longer runway available at Warsaw.

So, basically, they did their job - and did it well.

Sounds like it! :D

That's OK, the flap glitch on the CRJ100/200 hasn't been fixed now in twenty years.

Yes it has. Different speed limits

That didn't fix the glitch itself, but thanks for telling me about the speeds. In my nearly 3000 hours in the -2B19 the speeds changed three times.
