Wow, the thing just falls out of the sky.
they suspect icing based on the flight altitude
The Roselawn crash changed a lot of things for the ATR. No holding with flaps in icing conditions, increased speeds while in icing, etc. Unfortunately in order to comply with those procedures, you have to know you're in icing conditions. There are icing probes in each pilot's line of sight on the ATR, so it's usually pretty obvious when ice is accumulating, but mistakes happen.
It's possible that they've added more modern ice detection systems on the ATR, but the scope of my knowledge is limited in that department.
Icing, in the tropics, at altitudes a prop plane flies? Citation please.
hahahah, christ. when you go up high into the air, it gets colder!
ftfa:
Brazilian aviation engineer and crash investigator Celso Faria de Souza told Reuters that a buildup of ice could have caused the plane to stall and spiral in the way that it did.
Well at least it wasn't another Boeing...
