A spate of Montrose - Almaty - to be continued
PROBABLE CAUSE
The Board concludes that the probable cause of this accident was the flight crew's failure
to ensure that the airplane’s wings were free of ice or snow contamination that accumulated
while the airplane was on the ground, which resulted in an attempted takeoff with upper wing
contamination that induced the subsequent stall and collision with the ground. A factor
contributing to the accident was the pilots’ lack of experience flying during winter weather
conditions.
This happened Montrose, Colorado, November 28, 2004
The next thing, it was a fuel stop. We have low temp. and the aircraft is refueled with "warm" fuel, so everybody knows what will happen (condensed water), special on the upper wing skin.
Simular accidents happened 3 times before, what will be with estimated number of unreported cases, will say, what was close to the accident but godspeed, nothing happened.
