Correct. No penetrations of the 40:1 slope as required by TC Airport certification standards for the runway assessment. In other words CYHZ meet the standards/criteria in accordance with TP-312 Aerodrome Standards and Recommended Practices. Incidently the berm is 1200 from the threshold and the array is frangible as required by standards and the height of the berm was lower than thld elevation. I did see pictures shortly after and that A/C was in trouble prior the striking the berm. I don't know what those lawyers are gonna hang their hat on but good luck to them
