A Fokker 100 at Almaty sits iced in freezing fog before a rushed takeoff; a missed walk-around and asymmetric ice leave lift in doubt.

The skipped walk‑around left the wings iced - did they lift in time?

In this episode, we follow Bek Air Flight 2100 from gate to runway, detailing the decisions, procedures and conditions that led to a takeoff with unnoticed ice on the wings. How did routine shortcuts, sparse winter training and missing records align on one cold morning?

Date: December 27, 2019
Aircraft: Fokker 100 (UP‑F1007)
Location: Almaty International Airport, Kazakhstan
Passengers: 93 passengers, 5 children, 3 infants (98 people on board)
Temperature: -12°C on the ramp; inversion layer ~1,000 ft above runway

- Pushback at 07:22 after hours of freezing fog left ice building on the wings while no tactile walk-around was performed.
- Three hours earlier another pilot reported frost on slats and fuel tanks; the message was logged but not acted on by Flight 2100 crew.
- Bek Air mechanics were swapping engine components without data plates or Rolls‑Royce maintenance reports, leaving service histories unverifiable.
- Neither captain nor first officer had received specific winter-operations training; the operator’s program lacked cold-weather requirements.
- Ice accumulated unevenly on the wings causing asymmetric contamination that would affect lift during initial climb.
