  • Passenger Leakage Study
    2012 Passenger Leakage Study TAYGUS MANAGEMENT LTD. Box 2156 Dawson Creek BC 6/25/2012 TAYGUS MANAGEMENT LTD. Introduction The Dawson Creek Airport is continually looking to enhance air services available at the airport to better serve users in the South Peace Region. Improved air service generates many benefits to the community including enhanced access for business travellers, tourists, workers, vacationers and people visiting friends and relatives. By enhancing air transportation for residents, Dawson Creek is better able to attract and retain businesses and qualified personnel that benefit the community. Data on the travel characteristics of passengers from the Dawson Creek Region that use surrounding airports are required to identify new routes which would best serve travellers and have the greatest opportunity of success, and to identify candidate carriers to serve those new routes. This data is of prime importance in developing a business case for a new service to present to a prospective carrier. The results of this study will provide the Dawson Creek Airport with a better understanding of the travel patterns of people of the region, and potential for new or improved services. Current Air Services The Airport is currently served by two scheduled Airlines. Central Mountain Air (HawkAir) o Once daily direct flights to Vancouver and Fort Nelson Sunday through Friday. o Dash 8 service (schedule uses both 100 and 300 series aircraft). Northwestern Air o Once daily direct service to Edmonton and Red Deer 3 days per week. o Jestream 31 service. Catchment Area The catchment area for the Dawson Creek Airport (YDQ) is bordered by 2 other regional airports.

    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Runway Excursion First Air Boeing 727-200 C-GXFA Iqaluit Airport, Nunavut 22 September 2000 Report Number A00H0005 Summary The Boeing 727, C-GXFA, operating as First Air Flight 860, was on a scheduled flight from Ottawa, Ontario, to Iqaluit, Nunavut, with 7 crew members and 52 passengers on board. Iqaluit Airport was receiving its first major snow squall of the winter, and snow-clearing operations were under way. The wind was from the east at approximately 20 knots with gusts to 30 knots. The snow-clearing vehicles left the runway and remained clear while the flight was conducting an instrument approach to Runway 35. Because of strong winds, the approach was discontinued approximately five nautical miles from the airport, and a second approach to Runway 35 was carried out. After touching down near the runway centreline, the aircraft travelled off the left side of the runway, then returned to the runway surface. The aircraft then drifted to the left and came to rest 7000 feet from the threshold of Runway 35. The nose wheels and the left main wheels were off the runway in the mud west of the runway. An emergency evacuation was ordered, and all passengers and crew exited the aircraft without injury.
