Is it not about time that a preliminary report, at least,as to the cause of this crash was published? If icing or weather rather than mechanical or engine problems were the prime suspect could this information not be put about publicly in order to exonerate the manufacturers and reassure owner/operators? Had the A/C been sitting outside in freezing moist conditions? Had it been deiced? The airport was closed for a long time; it is to be hoped that this allowed fair progress to be made in the search for the cause of this sad event.
