"Bek Air was grounded after the accident and has repeatedly appealed to authorities to allow the airline to restart operations.
The airline recently issued, extraordinarily, purported audio conversations between accident investigators and the first officer of the flight, who initially survived the accident but subsequently passed away on 28 January, shortly after the discussion.
Bek Air says the recordings were captured by the airline’s employees who were present at the time.
The transcript of the discussion includes question on how the crew checked the surface of the wings for ice, following suggestions that no check was conducted.
But the first officer apparently replies that he made a tactile check in three places, pointing out that he was able to check the front of the wing – which was “clean and dry” – more easily because he was taller than the captain.
He says the de-icing of the stabiliser – and only the stabiliser – was the captain’s decision, because it could not be checked from the ground.
The first officer also says that the aircraft was able to track the runway centreline during the departure but had passed the V1 decision speed when problems emerged, and the crew therefore did not consider aborting the take-off roll.
Control difficulties began, he says, after the nose-wheel lifted. He retracted the landing-gear, but only on the second attempt – and after a second call from the captain – because the aircraft was rolling sharply."
The top of the wings should be checked for frost, not the leading edge as it doesn't always get down to the leading edge. Where I have been flying, part of the walkaround is to check the wings/top of the engine from the cabin. Might find frost and there has been cases of damage(delamination and small broken piece) that were visible from the cabin windows.
This aircraft was de-iced...on the tail only as a precaution as they couldn't see the top part of it. They should have looked at the top part of the wing or better yet for an aircraft super-sensitive to frost in frost producing conditions.....a ladder for a tactile check.
