  Fokker F50 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The F50, as the new design was called for marketing reasons, was based on the stretched F-27-500, but with a larger number of smaller windows in the fuselage and a two-wheel nose gear.

 The LUXAIR Fokker F50 Crash
Quite likely to be the LUXAIR F50 accident cause because of the appearance of the wreckage (virtually fell straight down as if it had lost airspeed very rapidly - as it surely would if it experienced GROUND IDLE in flight.
In fact Ground fine is an F-27 term, whereas on the F50 Ground Idle equates to the start of the beta range (alpha range being the flight range in most turboprops and very positively divides forward thrust from the reverse thrust commencing at the top of the beta range).
both propellers of the Fokker 50 were on a setting for taxiing, not for flying.
