Thought I would post the following article from radio australia which implies differently to the above post.

Papua New Guinea's Civil Aviation and Safety Authority says results from an investigation into a fatal plane crash could have implications for the world's fleet of Dash 8 aircraft.

Twenty-eight people died when the Airlines PNG Dash 8 crashed near the coastal town Madang earlier this month.

The company grounded all its craft of that model.

David Inau, from PNG's Accident Investigation Commission, says officials are preparing the preliminary report.

"The airworthiness inspection of all the records, what maintenance was done on the aircraft, is still going on," Mr Inau said.

"And if there are any findings of any airworthiness issues, it may have implications to this type of aircraft worldwide."
