Kip Powick Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 One person remains in hospital after an arriving Air Canada Express plane made contact with a Menzies fuel truck at Pearson International Airport. The collision took place just after 1:30 a.m. Friday. Three people were taken to hospital as a precaution after an arriving Air Canada Jazz plane made contact with a Menzies fuel truck at Pearson Airport. (MARK BLINCH / THE CANADIAN PRESS) Debra Williams, the manager of corporate communications for Jazz Aviation, which operated the flight, said three crew members and two passengers were taken to hospital for assessment. Damage to the plane will be assessed, she said. After the collision, airport emergency services responded and passengers and crew were evacuated and moved to a terminal, according to Ryan White, a spokesperson for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. Passengers have since been allowed to leave. The aircraft and vehicle have been removed and the scene is being returned to normal operations, White said. There was no impact on the airport’s operations, he said. On Wednesday, emergency response crews put out a fire in the left brakes of a Jazz Aviation flight departing from Pearson, Williams said. The aircraft was halted during taxi when the crew experienced an issue with the brakes. Passengers deplaned and there were no injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To most people, any surface an airplane maneuvers on is a "runway", but it would be nice if the media would at least try to be slightly more educated on such stuff.

blues deville Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Lots of overnight rain and soaked ramp may have helped in not having this end in a huge fire ball. Crunching metal and bent prop?

I can’t determine from the photos or video whether this is a DH8-301 or a -311. Based on the one photo, the MLG could be a -311. These models are scheduled for the ELP. The -301’s aren’t in the program due to their different MLG design. Does anyone know what the tail number or reg is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Foxtrot Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Fin 326. Yes it is a 311. Not yet due for the 80,000 km check. I am guessing it will live on. That is a mere flesh wound on the mighty Dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 20 hours ago, AAS said: Again credit AAS for these photos, but did the Dash8 spin around after the impact and then come to a stop resting against the back of the truck? Looking closely at the design of the fuel truck, it appears to have a ‘built in’ blind spot for anything on its right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the engines and avionics and what do you think the hull is worth? With the pressure vessel ruptured the repair bill will be significant.
