A case study in how to manage fuel

A Canadian North Dash 8-100 encountered deteriorating weather at its destination and at it's alternate, in the high Arctic of Canada. The pilots' decision making appears to be a classic example of good judgement in a very hostile environment:

Incident: Canadian North DH8A at Igloolik, Cape Dorset and Iqaluit on Nov 30th 2016, landed with 400lbs of fuel remaining

Well done, folks, that's what keeps the place running when you're supplying an essential service.
