Any swept wing jet transport with no leading edge devices is very subsceptible to icing. I was lucky that my FK100 Conversion was carried out by an ex Fokker company pilot, who had lost a colleague in a take-off accident (posted below) which (contrary to the report ) he told me was caused by exceeding the hold-over time subsequent to a crew-change due sickness, followed by either no/wrong info, resulting in the new Capt departing with no further de-icing ( & assumedly no tactile check ) .

I had previously flown the DC9-15, but we weren't that paranoid . . . maybe we were just lucky.

He told me straight 100% you MUST be sure you have no ice/frost you MUST do a tactile inspection of the wing before being sure, I believed him, the guys in Pau didn't do the TR with him I guess.
