On Sep 15th 2023 the airline reported, that following the go-around the crew was monitoring their fuel usage which was fine. Only after crossing the point of no-return to Omsk the fuel quantity suddenly began to critically decrease about 70nm short of their top of descent. The crew did not wait until fuel was exhausted but began to immediately prepare for an emergency landing, spotted the landing site from the aircraft when only 5 minutes of fuel was left and landed with 200kg of fuel remaining.

So either a malfunction in the fuel measurement system (after a malfunction in the hydraulics—very shoddy) or a fanciful story. And still wondering why they choose to divert with two good hydraulics systems, flaps, gear, #2 reverser and alternative braking available. More questions than answers.Originally posted by Gabriel View Post

Waste not want not. I'll bet a ruble they actually attempt a soft field takeoff.Originally posted by Gabriel View Post
It has now become clear that that the hydraulic failure happened AFTER the go-around decision and had nothing to do with that decision. The gear retracted but the doors remained open. That tracks.Comment

Diversion decided AFTER the hydraulic failure. I'm back to asking why? Maintenance facility at Novosibirsk? Didn't want the a/c stuck at Omsk?Comment
