Interesting that the landing was hard enough to break the right hand main gear and snap off a wing, but not hard enough to trigger the ELT.

Evacuating at the gate, after arrival and bridging, is an unusual situation. Engines are shutdown, jet bridge is attached or in the process of being attached, seat belt signs are likely off, passengers are up and retrieving carry-ons, when suddenly an emergency develops. If the crew follows the evac...

Unless the exemption gets renewed, it appears to expire on March 3, 2025.

It's a moot point as the telemedical exemption from TC is about to expire.

Trump wants rare earth from Ukraine, as payment for military assistance.

What's a resource that Canada has a lot of?

$2.57USD/gal is approx $1CAD/litre.

Where are you paying $13CAD/litre for gas?

I'll assume for most pilots that they'll start by giving half to their ex-wives, haha.

If I choose to live in a small town, far from services, why should I expect others to subsidize my life choices?

Sounds like someone is advocating for 15 minute cities.

Anyone have any new info on this...? Mine isn't due for another year, but I just recently saw one of the new ones... yikes. Looks like it was a high school arts and crafts project. This government can't even do the simple stuff properly. If you're asking about renewal times, I mailed my application...

Vas posted the ATC audio on YouTube, sounds like a normal approach and landing until the collapse.

No succession plan and no attractive assets for a buyer.

Great company, great people. Sad but not surprising to see it wind down.

The changes to the loyalty program are equally terrible.

That combined with not being able to select exit row/front of cabin on a EconoFlex fare (without paying extra), just pushes us to AC or PD.

Based on Summit's job postings, I'd say they officially have the Baffinland work now.

Corrected my spelling. Yes, a smooth landing can result in a fractured torsion link and a folded gear, a known issue on the Classics.

That was a flap issue initially and then a very hard landing resulted in the left main collapsing. This youtube video shows ceiling panels jarred loose and most of the passenger O2 masks are deployed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlcEktgQ0WQ Would a smooth high speed landing followed by a main g...

Looks like it was a planned flaps up landing, that ended up with a gear collapse. Strange.

Is there more to this story than what it appears?

https://avherald.com/h?article=520dc4df&opt=0 A Nolinor Boeing 737-400, registration C-GGWX performing flight N5-662 from Quebec City,QC to La Baie,QC (Canada) with 87 people on board, was on approach to La Baie when the crew initiated a go around due to an unsafe gear indication. The crew decided t...

First step, try to get foreign pilots.

Second step, start a new "Open Skies" agreement and allow US regionals to do point-to-point service in Canada.

Third step, destroy Canadian aviation altogether.

I don't think i would trust those numbers. I highly doubt a Boeing 767 - with any flaps - could stay airborne and flying below 120 kts.....never mind 109 kts. At the 120kts & 109kts groundspeed you still have potential for 15kts gusting given in the current metar at the time, which means component ...

It was also a flight with a training captain and an FO under line indoc.

Not realizing that the end of the runway was coming up until 850 feet remained?

It's an interesting report in regards to Porter SOP's though.

Doesn't Flair recruit from SA too?
