Talk:2007 Bombardier Dash 8 landing gear incidents

Proposed deletions
This article about Flight 1209 is interesting because this incident happens 3 days before Flight 2748 landing gear failure. The two incidents looks very similar and Flight 2748 is now the reason for grounding many Dash-8-400 world-wide. Bombardier has issued an AOM (All Operator Message) about possible, unidentifed landing gear problems. SAS has grounded its 33 planes (of a total of 160) of this type and the implications of this event is important. Nisselua 14:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, and have therefore removed the PROD tag. 81.151.39.252 15:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

All Nippon Airways Flight 1603
Japenese Wikipedia has an article - All Nippon Airways Kochi airport belly landing accident about All Nippon Airways Flight 1603. Here is a reference to a Japanese newspaper article Japanese newspaper article about the incident, with a picture. Nisselua 12:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Maintenance Procedures
Appreciate the article is under construction but I was just trying to work out what because its motor accelerated unexpectedly actually meant. As I was not sure what motor it was referring to I read the linked source and found that this sections is 80% word for word the same as the source and perhaps is a copyvio. Suggest it is re-written, I would attempt it but I still dont know what a motor is in this context (perhaps a translation error). MilborneOne 21:37, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Good catch. I assume engine is meant here. I added "Under construction" to cover the basic format of the article, and the fact that there is still some duplication. Feel free to address any problems that you find at this point. - BillCJ 23:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

SAS admits defeat!
On avaiation forums it is widely reported in the last few hours that SAS had published a press release. In the PR piece they admit airline fault (confess that gear collapses were due to overweight issues).

Hopefully all SAS top brass and company lawyers will be fired after this defeat and the Dash8 planes end up good hands and will fly for decades on. 91.83.6.174 21:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Interesting. I guess the higher-ups at SAS's controlling authority finally figured out that Bombardier was going to sue the pants off SAS for bad-mouthing their aircraft and potentially hurting the business, and probably had a good case. Anyway, we should wait till this is officially released by SAS, or covered by a reliable news source. If it's true, we should know within a few days. - BillCJ 22:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

so are they keeping the planes or selling them. because I live where Horizon is rapidly expanding its Q400 routes, and a bunch of cheap planes on the market would be good news.66.220.110.83 22:50, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Ansett New Zealand Flight 703
Is the Ansett New Zealand Flight 703 an accident with Dash 8 Q400? If not it should be removed from this article. Nisselua (talk) 10:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The article does mostly talk about the Q400 but the article heading is Dash 8. Should the title be changed and this entry be reloacted in another?  I don't think there is a generic Dash 8 crash article. CubBC (talk) 21:58, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * the article title i see is "2007 dash 8 landing gear incidents". 1995 is not 2007. --Kvuo (talk) 06:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * and there were 2, hence the article which is reasonable, the whole "similar incidents with dash 8" section should be removed --Kvuo (talk) 06:53, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Colgan Air Flight 3268
Both the article on Colgan Air and the article on Buffalo Niagara International Airport reference this flight as having lost a wheel upon touchdown. I am not familiar with the incident, but maybe it should be included here? -- Rouven Thimm (talk) 06:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * It's actually mentioned in the Lead, but it should be moved to the Similar incident list, if we keep it. I don't know anything about the incident either - if it's just a case of a wheel falling off because the nuts weren't tightened correctly, that wouldn't warrant a mention here. - BillCJ (talk) 11:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh right, sorry, didn't even look there. Interesting sidenote, the article on Colgan Air nowhere mentions the withdrawal of its Dash 8 fleet... -- Rouven Thimm (talk) 20:25, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

It's happened again!

LO3924 incident 10 January 2018
New incident: probably should be mentioned here? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:30, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Root cause of the thread corrosion?
The Wiki page says the root cause of the corrosion was "over-cleaning of the landing gear, with pressure washers" (added 17:40, 1 July 2017‎ by 2605:e000:fd4c:2c00:89f6:518b:e46b:b987). I cannot find any source whatsoever for this claim. The Swedish AIB states in its report that the use of different steel alloys is a contributing cause. Where does the claim of over-cleaning being the cause come from? Source?

Source for the claim that "Swedish authorities" criticised SAS?
The article says "Only two weeks previously, Swedish authorities had levelled a scathing critique at the airline after an aircraft of the same model nearly crashed because its engine accelerated unexpectedly during landing". I cannot fins any such claim at HavKom (AIB Sweden) or any incident matching this at AVHerald. What incident was this (date, aircraft, documentation)? Which "Swedish authority was it, HavKom?
