The accident

Turkish Airlines Flight 5904 with 2 pilots and 4 flight attendants took off empty at 00:36 EET from the Adana Şakirpaşa Airport Airport codes|ADA|LTAF to pick up pilgrims at the King_Abdulaziz_International_Airport Airport codes|JED|OEJN in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The aircraft crashed 8 minutes after taking off at 00:44 EET (22:44 UTC on April 6) about convert|30|nmi|km east-northeast of the airport near Hamdilli village in poor weather conditions.

The previous flight had brought 150 pilgrims returning from Hajj back to Adana, where it landed at around 23:45 EET. The pilots reported no maintenance problems and everything being normal after landing.

It seems probable that anti-icing of the Pitot-static system was not operated as the result of a missed pre-flight checklist item.
