Heard it all now!
Ottawa Airport, NaV Canada,Transport Canada are being sued by an American Feeder as two of their aircraft ran of the end landing in Ottawa. Now lets look at the facts, they chose to buy aircraft with high residual thrust engines and NO REVERSE! Yes I know certification is done without factoring in reverse, but in our climate this is totally bloody stupid, so Bean Counters, how much did you actually save given the fact that it cost around eleven million to fix your "great bargain" aircraft? If one combines the training standards in most American comuters {remember Coglan?} it should come as no suprise that these two finished in the" Rhubarb!" Lets just kick them out of our airspace as "unsafe!"And yes, I know the runway wasnt groved, but landing on this length one shouldnt go of the end if you just use a wet runway, firm landing method and get it on in the first 500 feet , these two were really moving when the went of the end.
