Landing Gear of Continental Connections Flight 3407 Also Under Scrutiny
Posted on Mar 11, 2009
The Buffalo News reports that while National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators have discussed icing on Continental Connections' Flight 3407 wings, as well as possible pilot error, as possible causes, the landing gear may now be under scrutiny.
The Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 that crashes in Clarence outside of Buffalo last week has a relatively good safety record here in the United States. However, abroad it does not enjoy the same safety record. Many of these close calls overseas involved the landing gear.
The Q400 aircraft was introduced in 2000. A review of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) records indicate that throughout the United States, there were 11 reports filed about other Q400 planes. Worldwide, there were 80 such reports. The Q400 plane involved in the Feb. 12 crash had no prior accidents or serious incidents.
