I haven’t posted here for sometime, but normally try to catch the cross talk a couple of times a week, and reading over the many, many, many, post covering this tragic invent.
( My condolences to families)
Now without trying to sound like speculation and correct me if I’m wrong. But know one has commented on the possibility of a mechanical failure of some kind. Maybe in the control or deice systems.
I haven’t flown any Dash 8 series aircraft and wouldn’t know of any fault indicators for the deice system. That’s for someone driving them.
But from personal experience I’ve had anti-ice AOA and wing heat failures along with wing and tail deice boots failures. Without any cockpit indications pertaining to the fault in some of the jets and turboprops I’ve operated in icing conditions.
I mean really just because you activate a deice system can you SEE the tail?
