Régional Flight 7775 (operated by Air France) was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Pau Pyrénées Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport in France which crashed shortly after takeoff during wintry conditions.
[1] An investigation by the BEA determined that the cause of the accident was ice on the wings of the aircraft along with excessive rotation in the weather conditions during takeoff.
Upon crossing a road, the left main landing gear struck the cabin of a truck, killing the driver.
The Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety conducted an investigation into the crash and announced that the cause was heavy ice on the wings.
The investigation also determined that the captain raised the Fokker at a steeper angle of attack than necessary during the takeoff Rotation and underestimated the atmospheric conditions.
The report concluded that although the chosen angle of attack would not have conventionally resulted in a stall, the ice on the wings had created extra drag and no aircraft de-icing had been carried out before take-off.
