Test Il-114-300 aircraft has finished the certification testing stage at the airports of the Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land archipelagos. The flight and navigation system developed by the Radioelectronic Technologies concern of Rostec State Corporation passed the testing, including the BINS-2015 inertial navigation system that ensures autonomous navigation of the aircraft.According to experts of the Ilyushin Aviation Complex (part of the United Aircraft Corporation under Rostec State Corporation), tests in the Arctic environment were intended to expand the flights geography and the possibilities of the aircraft stationing to a maximum.Managing Director of the JSC “Il” Daniil Brenerman noted that Il-114-300 is intended for all geographical latitudes, weather and climatic conditions.“Today’s testing has reaffirmed this once again. The aircraft almost reached the North Pole, flying up to a point just 100 km away from the zero mark. Franz Josef Land Archipelago with the northernmost Russian airport located on the 80th parallel was chosen to determine the maximum latitude for stationing. The confirmed latitudes of basing and operation indicate that the IL-114-300 can also be used in the Arctic Zone to replace all the existing aircraft of the old fleet and foreign make in its category,” he underscored.The plans are to conduct the aircraft testing for high temperature in the summer and for taking off unpaved runways in the autumn.

According to experts of the Ilyushin Aviation Complex (part of the United Aircraft Corporation under Rostec State Corporation), tests in the Arctic environment were intended to expand the flights geography and the possibilities of the aircraft stationing to a maximum.
“The success of the Il-114-300 Arctic testing is an important step for developing Russian aircraft building and ensuring transport accessibility of the most remote regions of Russia. This aircraft can work in extreme climatic conditions, which is essential for this country with its vast territory and diversity of climatic zones,” emphasized deputy head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Gennady Abramenkov.
Managing Director of the JSC “Il” Daniil Brenerman noted that Il-114-300 is intended for all geographical latitudes, weather and climatic conditions.
