EASA Q400 Meeting Clears Aircraft

With airworthiness authorities from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Canada in attendance as well as Bombardier and Goodrich, the emergency meeting called by the European Aviation Safety Agency concluded that the October 27 accident of the SAS Q400 at Copenhagen had nothing to do with design error. The unanimous conclusion came after an airworthiness review of the Bombardier aircraft at EASA headquarters in Cologne. EASA expects Swedish aviation authorities to re-issue the aircraft’s Certificate of Airworthiness shortly. The meeting also confirmed that the incidents with SAS aircraft on September 9 and 12  were not related to the incident on 27 October. Related Story
