AC Hits Snowbank

Post by pelmet »

I did some multi-engine training on a Grumman Cougar there a few years back. Smaller airport than some might be used to(perhaps a hockey charter).....

C-FKOJ, an Air Canada Airbus A320-211 was operating flight AC7085 from Vancouver
International Airport (CYVR), BC, to Republic Airport (KFRG), NY. When the aircraft was exiting
runway 14 onto the taxiway, the right engine cowling struck a snowbank causing damage.

...from TSB.

You can see some snowbanks in this video....
