The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) says an incident that involved a Westjet plane hitting the runway in Calgary earlier this year was connected to an issue with pilot training on a particular model of aircraft.
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on April 13, a DHC-8-402 aircraft, operated by Westjet Encore, came in for a landing at Calgary International Airport.
In a report, the TSB said the aft fuselage of the plane struck the runway, causing damage to the belly of the aircraft.
No one was injured and all passengers deplaned normally, but the plane was taken out of service following the incident.
An investigation was launched after the incident, which looked at the flight crew, weather and the plane itself to explain what happened.
As a result, the TSB found the issue was connected to a series of incidents involving DHC-8 aircraft that were first reported more than 20 years ago.
In an online report, the TSB said the first officer on the flight switched off the autopilot and took the controls at 500 feet above ground level.
