  Fokker 50 Aircraft Facts, Dates and History
The Fokker F50 was a small, turboprop-powered airliner designed as a refinement of and successor to the highly successful Fokker Friendship.
Fokker management, notably Frans Swarttouw, decided that an aeronautical and electronic update of both the F-27 and the F-28 (the short-range twin jet for ca 85 passengers) were in order.
Around 50 passengers can be carried over 2000 km at a typical speed of 530 km/h, a 50 km/h increase over the F-27.

 Fokker, A living history - Fokker 50
Fokker therefore realized that if its 'new F27' was to be a success, it too would have to introduce new technology.
Fokker's objective was to make passenger comfort on the Fokker 50 as close as possible to that of larger jets.
Customer reactions to this philosophy are reflected in the Fokker 50 orderbook which shows quite a number of airlines which do not limit the use of the word 'quality' solely to their advertising campaigns.

 Fokker Services - Fokker 50/F27
During a Fokker 50 Engineering Flight Simulator study following a 1999 accident with an F27 aircraft operating outside the load and balance limitations, it was found that the Flight Simulator behaviour did not accurately reflect the actual aircraft behaviour for an aircraft with a CG outside the aft CG limit.
Fokker Services is of the opinion that the F27 and Fokker 50 operators and Flight Simulator owners/companies must also have the opportunity to adapt the Aero Databases of the Flight Simulators in use at their facilities and therefore has decided to offer this change also to them.
TON50.061 and TON27.045 were issued to inform Fokker 50 and F27 Operators and Flight Simulator owners/companies about this phenomenon and the actions to be performed to improve the Flight Simulator behaviour in this CG area.

However, I just received a copy of the preliminary report and it seems as if they are considering a problem with the anti-skid system, and not the anti-ice.
It is suspected that the anti-skid circuit board malfunctioned and removed the ground idle-stop on the throttle levers by actuating a solenoid, allowing the pilots to inadvertently set the props into beta-mode at a critical point on the approach.
The service letter from Fokker dates back to 1994 and the service directories are also from that far back.
