On January 25, 2007, a Fokker 100 of the Régional Compagnie Aérienne Européenne , which was supposed to operate a regional flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle airport , crashed on Air France flight 7775 (flight number: AF7775 ) during take-off run at Pau-Pyrenees airport in wintry conditions Conditions. In the accident, a person was killed on the ground.
plane
The machine was a Fokker 100 with the serial number 11362, which had made its maiden flight on October 15, 1991. The machine was handed over to TAT European Airlines in December 1991 , after a merger the machine was approved for Air Liberté from October 2001 . From 1992 to 1996 and 2001 to 2005 the aircraft was leased to the Compagnie Corse Mediterranée . In July 2005, Régional Compagnie Aérienne Européenne acquired the Fokker and has since operated it on behalf of Air France .
the accident
On the day of the accident, the machine had already made a flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle and landed in Pau at 10:37 a.m. For the return flight on the same route, 50 passengers and 4 crew members got on. At 11:25 a.m., the machine had received clearance to take off from lane 13. One minute later, the crew noticed birds in the runway area while taking off. Eight seconds later the plane took off.
After taking off, the machine leaned 35 degrees to the left, then 67 degrees to the right and again 59 degrees to the left. As a result of the flight maneuvers, the machine fell back onto the runway from an altitude of 32 meters and jumped up again when it touched down. At a speed of 160 knots (300 km / h), the captain decided to abort the take-off. The machine touched down again. The thrust was taken back, the machine rolled 300 meters over the runway, broke through the airport fence and crossed a country road behind it. The left main landing gear tore open the cab of a Volvo truck, killing the driver. The machine then slid across a field, with both main landing gears being torn off.
The machine was so badly damaged in the incident that it had to be written off as a total loss. The truck with which the machine collided also suffered a total write-off.
Cause of accident
The causes of the accident were hoarfrost on the wings and excessive rotation : with the good intention of avoiding an incident caused by a bird strike , the crew had raised the aircraft at a steeper angle of attack . In doing so, she underestimated the atmospheric conditions. It had frost formed on the wings, so that the angle at which a lift without stalling would have been possible, had less than no icing. No aircraft de-icing had been carried out before take-off.
