Aviation Investigation Report A15H0002 Collision with terrain Air Canada Airbus Industrie A320-211, C-FTJP Halifax/Stanfield International Airport Halifax, Nova Scotia 29 March 2015 Summary On 29 March 2015, an Air Canada Airbus Industrie A320-211 (registration C-FTJP, serial number 233), operating as Air Canada flight 624, was on a scheduled flight from Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Ontario, to Halifax/Stanfield International Airport, Nova Scotia, with 133 passengers and 5 crew members on board. At approximately 0030 Atlantic Daylight Time, while conducting a non-precision approach to Runway 05, the aircraft severed power lines, then struck the snow-covered ground about 740 feet before the runway threshold. The aircraft continued airborne through the localizer antenna array, then struck the ground twice more before sliding along the runway. It came to rest on the left side of the runway, about 1900 feet beyond the threshold. The aircraft was evacuated; 25 people sustained injuries and were taken to local hospitals. The aircraft was destroyed. There was no post-impact fire. The emergency locator transmitter was not activated. The accident occurred during the hours of darkness.

  • Remarks of Julie Frederick Association of Professional Flight
    Remarks of Julie Frederick Association of Professional Flight Attendants Before the Advisory Committee for Aviation Consumer Protection Meeting Space Allocated Per Passenger on Aircraft April 14, 2015 Good morning Members of the Advisory Committee. I am here as a representative of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. The APFA represents the world’s largest air carrier and is the largest main line flight attendant union in the world, with over 25,000 flight attendants. I am pleased to appear before you today to offer a flight attendant’s perspective regarding safety and health concerns relative to the space allocated for customers on board passenger aircraft. We believe we are at a crossroads regarding passenger travel and the customer experience. Driven by the past economic realities of aviation travel, experiences for the coach economy passenger today is often a negative one that increasingly affects safety and security, as well as the overall customer traveling experience. Seat pitch – that is, as you know, the distance between a seat and the seat either in front of or behind another seat – used to be 34 inches. Since deregulation, the air carriers have steadily reduced the seating space for economy passengers as they have increased passenger density. What was once the norm – 34 inches of pitch – is now considered “comfort class or main cabin extra” and comes only at a premium. The gradual shrinking of personal seat space has been accompanied by a new discipline by management on load factors so that more and more flights are full. That is good for our companies’ bottom line but the days of the empty middle seat are a thing of the past.

  • How to Survive a Plane Crash1
    How to Survive a Plane Crash1 What are Your Chances? Excellent, to be honest. Few people die in airplane crashes; the odds are many millions to one against your being involved in any sort of serious aircraft accident, and even if you are, your chances of surviving it are very high (96% of passengers survived all US aircraft accidents from 1983–2000). In the two years (2007–2008) prior to this writing, there were 17 million US domestic flights, carrying 1.5 billion passengers; there were no passenger fatalities. Air travel is by far the safest form of trans- portation (on a miles travelled basis), and that includes walking. It certainly includes driving, a truly dangerous proposition. Why read this essay, then? Because complacency is rarely prudent. And because of another surprising statistic: it’s widely estimated that as many as 30% of those who have died in airplane accidents could have survived if they’d responded better to the emergency. Should the unimaginable ever come to pass, wouldn’t you rather be one of that fortunate third? So the bottom line is clear: you’ll probably never be in an air accident of any kind, and you’ll probably be just fine if you are. But if you’re not, due attention paid to the measures discussed here can improve your survival odds by a staggering 30%. Survive an Airplane Crash? When most people conjure up images of plane crashes, they include massive fireballs, dense smoke clouds, crushed buildings, & scorched landscapes. And some crashes2 are like that, visually spectacular and emotionally indelible.
