What the Calgary Herald calls a 'rough landing'

[RooFlyer]

I wonder if the Aussie media might have come up with a bit more dramatic headline Runway remains closed after three injured in rough landing at Edmonton airport

With no undercarriage visible, and a wing tip sitting on the ground, I would call 'rough' an understatement.

I know a few bush pilots that would agree with the term rough landing!
The Q400s seem to have a history of gear issues.
Heres a view from the other side.

Aussie media: passengers' lives flash before their eyes during hell flight
Airline media: there was no danger to flight safety and the aircraft diverted in the interests of passenger comfort

There's no doubt some in the Aussie media would go into overdrive if a similar thing happened to QF, but the Canadian media should know better than to use euphamisms such as "rough landing". I think this is equally poor reporting.

More pics and vision here: ‘The whole inside wall of the plane blew out’ as propeller pierces window in rough landing | Globalnews.ca . Apparently a tyre blew on take-off ...

Aviation Herald, also with pics: Accident: Jazz DH8D at Edmonton on Nov 6th 2014, right main gear collapse on landing, runway excursion, propeller blade(s) impacted fuselage


Interesting picture, with a propeller blade appearing to be embedded in the fuselage ... pax reports it "narrowly missed her" (but more likely material from cabin lining?).

She was sitting in row seven when part of one of the plane’s propellers smashed through the window, narrowly missing her face.

Just recounting what's reported ; the investigation report will be awaited ...

It looks pretty embedded to me and I'd say is certainly protruding into the passenger cabin.

And again, when something hits the fan so to speak, this is commonly heard, "“There was a lot of not knowing what was going on,” he said. “There was no communication from staff. It was not the way you expect to be treated.”

You'd think that a plan to handle comms might be in place by now.

Agree, but have a listen to the pax phone video at the end of the article. Doubt any FA announcement would have been heard over the whistling, cheering etc.

Any landing you walk away from is a good one, any landing you walk away from and the aircraft is still useable is an excellent one !

Unfortunately not always so true. Asiana at SFO.
