Bek Air Flight 2100 was a domestic passenger flight from Almaty to Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, onboard a Fokker 100. Yes, undercooled water – possible when the air is clear and there is little or no wind – can accumulate on smooth surfaces and freeze nearly instantly when there is something to disturb the equilibrium. It goes to show that even highly trained pilots can run into trouble. ATSB investigators use these laboratories to perform CVR and FDR readouts for occurrences in Australia and overseas.” The CVR is actually an Australian invention! Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds.CNN's Paul P. Murphy and Alla Eschenko contributed to this report.Flight Z9-2100, a Fokker 100 aircraft operated by Kazakhstan-based carrier Bek Air, was scheduled to fly from Almaty, the country's largest city, to the capital Nur-Sultan.But the plane, which was carrying 93 passengers and five crew, "lost altitude after takeoff and broke through a concrete fence," before colliding with a two-story building at approximately 7:22 a.m. local time, according to the Almaty airport authority. Flight 2100 was operating from Almaty to Nur-Sultan. On the 27th of December 2019, Bek Air flight 2100, a domestic passenger flight with 93 passengers and 5 crew on board, crashed after departure from Kazakhstan’s Almaty International airport. If an engine failure were to put a hole like that in a wing tank, the fuel could ignite (“Fuel tank puncture: Qantas A380 ‘lucky’ to escape catastrophe, say reports” was a headline at the time), making for a quite spectacular and deadly fire. The aircraft lights initially show at the top right, above and left of the time stamp:More CCTV video showing the aircraft and the crash are available on this The airline state that the wind data retrieved from the black boxes shows wind speeds of 96 knots and that they believe that the aircraft was in the vortex of wake turbulence.An Airbus A321 had departed from the same runway just under two minutes before. The weather and freezing conditions were not out of the ordinary for the airfield, which has comprehensive de-icing and anti-icing procedures.According to Bek Air, the F100 had been parked at Almaty for two days and there had been no rainfall during this period.

The movement of the aircraft as it taxies to the holding point can do the trick.In response to Sylvia’s wondering how water could have accumulated on the wings without precipitation: There are plausible explanations, the most probable being the result of condensation.If the fuel was warmer, loading it would have warmed up the wings and made condensation less likely. Water on the wings may freeze and become clear ice, easy to miss during a casual pre-flight “walk around”.The politics with respect to the recorders is interesting, to say the least. It’s a tragedy and perhaps could have been prevented but that remains to be seen as the investigation proceeds. With passengers reporting that they slipped on the wing while evacuating the plane, ice on the wings looks like a strong contender for the cause of the accident.The problem of water in jet fuel is mainly that of the water freezing, and the ice clogging up fuel lines, filters, or pumps. Strangely enough, some years later, I had one more encounter with 1713. The Fokker 100 is a medium sized twin-turbofan jet often used for short haul flights.The Fokker 100 aircraft involved in the crash went into operation in 1996, according to the Kazakhstan Aviation Committee. The stabilizers were de-iced but the wings were not as they were clean.The F100 was configured correctly with zero flaps for departure on runway 05 right. Denver has some impressive snowstorms with heavy, wet snow, and this was one of those occasions. Australia: “The ATSB’s central office in Canberra includes an audio laboratory and an FDR laboratory. for Ethio­pian Airlines Flight 302: “Ethio­pian investigators delivered the mangled orange flight data recorder to specialists at France’s civil air safety investigation authority, the Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses, or BEA, which has extensive experience analyzing crashes in Europe and around the world.” (Washington Post)Does the Fokker have indicator tufts on the wings? "This is a big loss," the post reads, which described Nurbekov as "a very good person and a professional." I know nothing! The pilot chose to de-ice the stabilizers only, and took off 22 minutes after the de-icing, which is probably stretching the holdover time. Kazakhstani Bek Air has had its operating certificate suspended by government authorities. I was warm and cozy at home when the phone rang and a friend that worked for Continental called to tell me that there had been a crash and that he had been to the sight. Everything was like in a movie: screaming, shouting, people crying," she said.Another survivor said the plane began falling at an angle shortly after takeoff.

Bek Air Flight 2100 was a domestic passenger flight from Almaty to Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, onboard a Fokker 100.It crashed on 27 December 2019 while taking off from Almaty International Airport.. These values would result in the wake vortices blown left off the runway center line by more than 300 meters. All engines and systems were working normally as the aircraft rotated but at 18 feet above the runway the aircraft started oscillating, rolling right and then left as it lost height and the tail struck the runway. The previous departure departed 112 seconds prior to the Fokker 100. The sight was sobering. They stated that all necessary procedures were carried out. I’m a helo pilot, and the rule when flying low enough to strike wires is to always fly…Que?
