Antonov An-148-100B RA-61704 Rossiya | Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel HAM/EDDH

Streaming vortexes from the tips of the flaps as it comes in on short final. Although the wingtip vortex is usually referenced in literature, during landing approach, the difference in lift between the part of the wing with flaps deployed and the outboard part creates much stronger vortex structures. They are dangerous to following aircraft and are the cause for time interval separation rules.

Quite a rare sight at a Western airport, especially now when Ukranian-Russian cooperative projects are suspended. Rossiya suspended its six An-148 in April 2015 and has stored them ever since, so this sight is likely never to repeat itself.

This very aircraft, RA-61704, flying for Saratov Airlines, tragically crashed on 11.02.2018 shortly after departure from Moscow Domodedovo, with the loss of 71 lives. May their souls find rest and peace.
