The tragic An-148 flight: technical or human error to blame? | AeroTime

The Russian An-148 airliner, carrying out a domestic flight, crashed in the Moscow Region on February 11, 2018, killing all 71 people onboard. Investigators maintain that wrong data of flight speed, apparently due to icing, could have led to the crash. The yet unanswered crucial question is whether the pilots failed to switch on the heating unit or was it a technical issue that led to speed sensors’ malfunction.
