Clandestino, the BFU rep said final report will be published in 2016 .

I do not know the Q400 , but Luxemburg a bit, very small aviation community there .
BTW, for those that do not understand Luxemburgish, here is a rough translation of what Ney ( CEO Luxair ) said during the press conference :
The lady FO has inadvertently retracted the landing gear too early, so that the aircraft tail struck the runway. She did so, as the take-off was reached. At that moment only the nose wheel had lifted , the main landing gear was still in contact with the runway. The co-pilot had, with the actuation of the lever, disactivated the mechanism that prevent retraction of the gear on the ground. Everything was functionning properly, according to Luxair, as tests proved after the incident.
Are the last 2 sentences technically correct ?
