Air Canada flight 624 has crashed on a runway at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Canada, the airline has confirmed. The plane reportedly hit power lines and sustained extensive damage upon crash-landing. No passengers were killed. (rt.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Most likely Runway 5. Would not like to come down short on 14 as there is a steep embankment down to Highway 102.

Ya gotta know when to fold em'
It's the approach light system embedded in nose and wing leading edge.
I believe the correct terminology for this event is "severe undershoot".

I'm familiar with CYHZ , and have driven around it a few times on the Old Guysborough Road. Those powerlines, if they had been approaching from the south, are basic 30-foot high everyday lines , and are about 1500 feet from the normal touchdown spot.
Just heard that the plane made the approach from the NORTH, with winds at 340 30G60. Those power lines are almost 2000 feet from the touchdown area.

The report that the plane came in from the north was made by someone whoo didn't understand runway numbering, and has been dismissed
Yeah I doubt it landed in a 30G60 tailwind.
