A Windrose Embraer ERJ-195 on behalf of Aerosvit, registration UR-WRF performing flight VV-230 from Athens (Greece) to Kiev (Ukraine), was climbing through FL230 out of Athens when the crew received a bleed air leak indication for the right hand engine (CF34). Due to the unavailability of the left hand air conditioning system the crew performed a rapid descent to 10,000 feet and returned to Athens for a safe landing.

Ukraine's Ministry of Transport reported in their monthly bulletin that the aircraft had been dispatched under minimum equipment list requirements due to the left hand air conditioning system being inoperative. The commander decided to not burn off fuel prior to landing due to turbulent conditions and high temperatures in the cabin and performed a safe overweight landing. The indication was determined the result of false signals of the right hand hot air leakage sensor.
