A Motor Sich Airlines Antonov AN-140-100, registration UR-14007 performing flight M9-315 from Zaporozhye (Ukraine) to Moscow Vnukovo (Russia), was accelerating for takeoff when just above V1 the crew received a fire indication for the left hand engine (TV3) and the right hand engine changed to alternate control. The crew continued takeoff, climbed the aircraft to safe altitude, shut the engine down and returned to Zaporozhye for a safe landing.

Ukraine's Ministry of Transport reported in their monthly bulletin that a subsequent examination of the aircraft and data recorders showed, there were no air pressure values for the left hand engine over a period of 5 seconds starting 28 seconds after the takeoff was initiated. No anomalies with the engine, its systems and engine control were found. The investigation commission determined the cause of the indications was the temporary failure of the sensor measuring the air pressure at the compressor.
