At 0.28....looks like snow can be seen on the wings of the wreckage. |
A few points:
Spoilers deployed. FR24 showing it climbed to circa 3100 feet considering the field elevation of 2300 . 800 feet? Rear mounted T tail engines. Temp minus 11 C. Clear Ice? Note-able similarities to the SAS MD 81 dual engine failure due ice ingestion ....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandi...nes_Flight_751 That SAS accident and todays F100 accident both occurred on DECEMBER 27 ..! |
Seems to be in three big chunks, and no fire which was a blessing. Glad so many got out alive. The runways at Almaty are very long. It's a very fog prone airfield. Pilots and Air traffickers can find themselves in jail there when things go wrong. |
Not overly long considering the elevation..
7 confirmed dead, I doubt that is a final figure. |
Indeed, Cloudhopper. Sadly, now 14 confirmed. Tragic. Runways are 4,400 and 4,500m. Long enough to support Tu-144 operations.... |

METAR around time of accident:
UAAA 270130Z 10002MPS 1000 R05L/P2000 R05R/P2000U BR FU NSC M12/M13 Q1014 R88/91//50 NOSIG= a bit chilly |
Kazakhstan's Ministry of Interior has reported that the captain died in the accident.

I can't see enough points on the FR24 plot to support that conclusion.
ADS-B Data transmitted by the aircraft's transponder suggest the aircraft became airborne, climbed only to between 50 and 100 feet AGL, veered right and impacted buildings abeam of the runway about 3000 meters/10,000 feet down the runway 05R. Photographic evidence puts the final position to the right of the runway center line and about 750 meters/2500 feet past the end of the runway (4400 meters/14,400 feet length). |

If I have the correct one ---
https://www.flightradar24.com/data/f...92100#23522307 Fokker100 UP-F1007 Absent entries indicate values unchanged from previous entry. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b4dfbd5f73.png No idea if these are actual returned values or FR24 interpolated/extrapolated fill-ins which it sometimes seems to do. Sorry for image. One year pprune might get into the 1990's and allow some way of formatting text that I can figure out. Values:- CalAlt gs Track 0ft 17kts 34deg 48 56 100 135 155 53 140 2,275 146 58 2,225 132 55 2,200 76 81 |

I haven’t asked for your support. However, you could perhaps analyse the correct graph. |

At 0.28....looks like snow can be seen on the wings of the wreckage. However the F100 is indeed very sensitive to icing, with no leading edge devices. Flaps seem to be set to zero, which IS a legal t/o setting on the F70/100 series. Failure to gain altitude ultimately boils down to either wings not producing enough lift (ice?), or engines not producing enough thrust. |

However, you could perhaps analyse the correct graph. As for its vertical profile between those two points, your guess is as good as mine. Except that I'm not about to try. :O |
