It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Runway Overrun and Fire Air France Airbus A340-313 F-GLZQ Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Ontario 02 August 2005 Report Number A05H0002 Synopsis The Air France Airbus A340-313 aircraft (registration F-GLZQ, serial number 0289) departed Paris, France, at 1153 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as Air France Flight 358 on a scheduled flight to Toronto, Ontario, with 297 passengers and 12 crew members on board. Before departure, the flight crew members obtained their arrival weather forecast, which included the possibility of thunderstorms. While approaching Toronto, the flight crew members were advised of weather-related delays. On final approach, they were advised that the crew of an aircraft landing ahead of them had reported poor braking action, and Air France Flight 358’s aircraft weather radar was displaying heavy precipitation encroaching on the runway from the northwest. At about 200 feet above the runway threshold, while on the instrument landing system approach to Runway 24L with autopilot and autothrust disconnected, the aircraft deviated above the glideslope and the groundspeed began to increase. The aircraft crossed the runway threshold about 40 feet above the glideslope. During the flare, the aircraft travelled through an area of heavy rain, and visual contact with the runway environment was significantly reduced.

Our goal in this new economy is to ensure that travellers continue to use Toronto Pearson. To accomplish this, we developed a four-step action plan that focused on saving costs in a variety of ways. Despite posting a six per cent decline in traffi c, we introduced a reduction in airline landing fees and terminal charges, as well as a partner incentive plan, which made Toronto Pearson even more attractive and brought new airlines to our facility. We took the opportunity to prepare for the future. This means we are well-positioned for growth in the coming years and are looking forward to reaping the results of the groundwork we’ve laid.
