SwissCyul Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 This could have ended in a disaster... If you guys want to see the official report then go to this website, we are working on investigation at the moment:http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20141106-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascar99 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Very sad Remember the plane doesn't actually belong to Air Canada. It is owned and operated by Jazz Aviation LP flying on behalf of Air Canada Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglewing7 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Not a crash, rather a forced landing, and a rather nicely done one at that. Minimal damage, and only minor injuries (but what do you expect when an aircraft jars to a stop, people tend to be tossed around a bit, similar to a car accident, regardless of whether or not you have your seat belt on). And yes, this is an Jazz aircraft, not Air Canada. Please inform me how this could have been a disaster? A gear collapse on landing, which results in a yawing moment, which then takes the aircraft off the side of the runway at low speed (which the aircraft would have been at, because the crew knew there was a problem after taking off in Calgary, and also because this is a landing incident). Yes, the right engine had a blade separation event, but even so, at the low to idle power of landing, the odds of a full penetration by the composite propeller blades is low. Yes it did penetrate, but not all that far (odds are there may be an A/D in the works from Bombardier suggesting that operators install a bit of additional sheet metal on the fuselage adjacent to the blades, just as a cover your ass move).

Andyrooc Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Well, there was the loss of the Nbr2 engine and right side gear - that's pretty sad. This however, was a sad story: http://www.smh.com.au/national/air-new-zealand-pilot-dies-after-landing-plane-at-perth-20141031-11f8xb.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola_M Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Hasn't been the best week for Q400s. One rarely reads about incidents involving the Q, then two in one week.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2829801/Bird-strike-destroys-Flybe-plane-propeller-pilot-continues-fly-hour-destination-just-ONE-ENGINE.html Edited November 12, 2014 by Nicola_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglewing7 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Pretty good hit to the spinner cone on that Q. Probably no damage to the engine thought. Is it just me or is the Daily Mail a tad bit sensationalist? Edited November 12, 2014 by eaglewing7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissCyul Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ahh, gotta love the news!! Making a big drama out of an incident... "If the other engine would have failed we would have dropped out of the sky..." While we are on the topic of Q problems: Another Flybe Q400 had a minor braking issue last week: http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=171105Flybe is not going to be happy...

The Daily Mail is probably the newspaper with the worst examples of English, spelling mistakes and grammar, with journalists who seem to have Primary/Middle school education (ages 6-12), but it's about the only UK paper which is free, concise in layout and updated several times a day.
