3rd in a year
We are talking about 3 accidents within a year (Moscow-Vnukovo, Almaty and now Yerevan), all in de-icing/anti-icing weather conditions and all with aircraft type from the same series/type.
All turned over and burned out. The one in ALA would look the same if the aircraft would not hit a wall.
Let me state a few things from experience in this region, knowing all the airports and handling agents very well:
- training of the ground crews not accomplsihed or not complete (no aircraft procedures done)
- They have fluid and equipment manufactured in Europe and the USA, but not fully understand all features.
AND
- they are not understanding the difference between a TU-154 with a wing thick like a dozen of telephone books and a CRJ, with a maximum of two.
And one more item:
Not only the trainign of the ground crews, I have my problem to believe that all the flight crews had been properly trained.
