TC owns this not AC. There is a presumption that a government document that is presented is valid and correct. Therefore I don't think that it is reasonable that AC should be held accountable for accepting a document that the presented fraudulently altered. What should never have happened is that i...

I've had to reject takeoff before because non-sticking snow didn't have enough time to completely blow off. Only the top layer blows off first and if the snow is thick enough the takeoff run won't be enough time for it to all blow off. Yes, exactly. Or certain parts of the airframe heat up on the g...

The CBC report has quotes from the accident investigator. Warkentin described the landing gear's failure to retract as a "benign" issue, but said it did serve to distract the pilots from the loss of altitude. “Y ou can fly that airplane around all day with the landing gear extended. Provided you re...

When I was flying the DH8, I think my company had a technical bulletin regarding loss of pressurization. It said that before going to the emergency checklist try moving the switch to man and then back to auto. Doing this procedure first also helps you to discover the fact that the switch was not in...

Neither flight crew donned their quick donning oxygen masks. That should have been the very first action. Another case of a mishandled failure - unacceptable level of crew performance. Well done to the ATC controller - almost certainly prevented an accident. A couple of the effects of Hypoxia are c...

. "Shortly after levelling off at 27 000 feet the flight crew began to succumb to the effects of hypoxia." Aren't all DH8 models only certified to 25,000 ft? Maybe they had special permission because it was a ferry flight? When I was flying the DH8, I think my company had a technical bulletin regard...

Is it safe to assume at this point (based on the ATC audio we've all heard) that the plane and the firetruck were on two different frequencies (i.e. Tower and Ground) and therefore the pilots had no knowledge of the firetruck about to cross 04? Is this what happened? Truck 1 and Company (a line of ...

"Digits wrote: If you truly only have the STAR information without any runway or further clearance, you can only be certain to make it to BRUSR"

True, but the OP was assuming that he was expecting/assigned R/W 08 because it was the active R/W on the ATIS.


.

Completely incorrect. Good grief. If expecting runway 8 it’s at or above 4000. That’s what you would set in a managed or “protected” mode. The arrival doesn’t end at pgskn. I was typing on my phone and missed a few points. See my edit. If you are not told what to expect you wouldn’t dial 4000. Go r...

A few points copied from the report: "During the aircraft performance analysis that was completed for the occurrence flight, it was determined that the aircraft was not significantly underperforming due to contaminated critical surfaces." "The published maximum airspeed at which the aircraft can sa...

A proper US ATC clearance will be “descend via the BRUSR 1 arrival - runway 08 transition”. So your altitude clearance limit is the lowest altitude on the STAR page including the transition. In this case 4000’ with lateral guidance track 108 degrees after JAMIL. The only other possible clearance ph...

What about simply reducing climb power. I know that you don't have things like CLB2 on Boeings but is it really mandatory to run the PW100 at full climb power. I don't remember that restriction when I operated them, but I didn't have an excess horsepower situation. I remember in the old days on an ...

Preliminary report out: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26580814-report-wpr26ma063-202182-1-30-2026-2-43-05-pm/ Looks like instrument failure was a factor in this crash. 5 mile vis, heavy drizzle, broken ceiling at 1200 AGL. The plan was to T/O VFR, and get the IFR clearance in the air. Hi...

IMHO this is a good way to manage it: After T/O do the regular gear up etc... Usually the FD is in pitch, nav and alt sel. At 1000' the PF starts turning right, engages the AP, calls flap 0, climb power, after T/O check, which the PM does and contacts departure and gets clearance to 4000' and anoth...

So, we all have heard the stories of flying in the north and how things are different up there and how pilots have to think outside the box. There were many issues contributing to this accident.

Instrument failure?

Ceiling/vis was fairly low. Looks like they were trying to stay VFR.

Landing prior to the threshold (displaced or not) will trigger an investigation. It's considered to be an Incident. Happened at my Airline. It's not legal.
