The pilot is the reason the plane went down. He failed to cycle the boots, standard practice in icing conditions. At no less than four different times they should have been cycled, they were never cycled at all through out the flight. Boots are air bladders on the leading edge of the control surfaces that expand to remove ice. They were not used, failure by the flight crew.

You are very warm to the problem "Beaver Brownlee"

The lack of actions from the cockpit AND the FAA's knee jerk issued mandate !!

In 1999, the FAA issued an Airworthiness Directive (AD 99-19-18) that mandated revisions to AFM to advise flight crews to activate airframe pneumatic de-icing boots at the first sign of ice accumulation.

This system is from 1933 by design.

The FAA fails to understand the word "BRIDGING".

You need to operate the boots as they were designed.

The ICE accumulates - turn the boots on to breaks the ICE off - turn the boots OFF
Repeat when ICE builds NOT turn ON an forget.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Pisces

Someone is extremely headstrong and defiant today, and there's every chance that you're the one fitting this description. The more others are trying to make you behave yourself or do what they want, the more determined you'll be to do the exact opposite. Well, it is a Full Moon, and a lunar eclipse in emotional Cancer, so you're excused! Show them that you're an individual in your own right without going completely overboard about it, because that will cause trouble. Then once you've got all that off your chest you can relax and look forward to a really Happy New Year!
