Air Occurrence Summaries

The following summaries highlight pertinent safety information from TSB reports on these investigations.

Jammed Elevators

de Havilland DHC-8-102, Qubec / Jean-Lesage International Airport, Quebec, 25 April 1988
- Report No. A98Q0057

The elevators of the Air Alliance Dash 8 jammed as the aircraft climbed through 12,000 feet above sea level (asl) during a flight to Montral, Quebec. The captain tried to disconnect the left and right elevators by using the pitch disconnect handle, but that did not unjam the controls.

The crew declared an emergency and requested clearance back to Qubec. The captain was able to control the attitude and the desired vertical speed using elevator trim and engine power. While descending through 6,000 feet asl, the captain felt the aircraft's nose suddenly lift up. He immediately corrected the attitude by varying the engine power and using the elevator trim. He continued the descent for landing with 0 flaps so as not to disturb the attitude. The aircraft landed without further incident. After landing, the controls were free of any restriction.

The carrier's technical staff discovered that the space between the leading edge of the elevators and the trailing edge of the stabilizer was contaminated by large dribbles of rough-textured paint. The technicians sanded the paint drips from the elevators to restore the space between the two surfaces to the manufacturer's recommended standards of between 0.150 and 0.250 inch.

The trailing edge surface of the stabilizer is studded with rivet heads and access plugs that reduce the space between the two surfaces. The rivet heads and the access plugs are conducive to the adherence of ice.

The observed weather conditions - wet snow and rain - during the aircraft's stop at Qubec and on take-off met the icing-condition criteria specified by the aircraft manufacturer, the operator, and Transport Canada. The captain conducted two walk-around inspections of the aircraft before take-off, did not see any snow accumulation, and was confident that it was not necessary to de-ice the aircraft. Given the weather conditions, the decision to take off without de-icing the aircraft was questionable.

The use of the elevator trim to alleviate the normal pitch control forces during the climb made it impossible to recognize the imminent jamming of the elevators sooner. It was a potentially dangerous condition to control the aircraft using the elevator trim when the elevators were jammed. Should the elevators have suddenly become free with the trim in the full nose-down position, the aircraft would have quickly nose-dived unless there was an immediate intervention by the flight crew. On approach and especially at low altitude, the situation could potentially lead to impact with the ground.

Following this occurrence, Bombardier sent a letter to all operators and its regional representatives summarizing the occurrence and reminding them of the proper use of elevator trim. Bombardier also issued a Dash 8 safety of flight supplement reminding pilots that the elevator trim does not have the authority to overcome a frozen elevator.

No Instrument Rating or Type Endorsement

Mitsubishi MU-2B, 1 nm W of Parry Sound / Georgian Bay Airport, Ontario, 24 May 1999
- Report No. A99O0126

The MU-2 crashed while in a turn following a downwind take-off at night and in rain with little outside visual reference. The pilot and his son were fatally injured.

Transport Canada records indicate that the pilot attempted, but never successfully completed, the instrument rating examination on several occasions. His US pilot certificate (the MU-2 was US-registered) was issued on the basis of, and valid only when accompanied by, a valid Canadian licence. The pilot provided the US training provider with licensing documentation that indicated he held an instrument rating when, in fact, he did not hold this rating. Further, the pilot did not obtain a high-performance type rating on his licence for this type of aircraft.

After this occurrence, Transport Canada (TC) reviewed a crosssection of instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plans from across Canada against the instrument qualifications of the pilot filing the flight plan. Three of the 360 flight plans examined were found to be questionable and required further investigation. Some flight plans were not completed properly and could not be validated. TC determined that the flying of IFR flights by non-instrumentrated pilots is not a widespread or systemic problem in Canada. Nevertheless, a zero-tolerance approach is needed. TC has recommended that inspectors periodically check IFR flight plans to ensure that the filing pilot has a current instrument rating and that offenders be prosecuted. TC also recommended that Nav Canada ensure that flight plans are legible.

Too Much Weather, Too Little Experience

Piper PA-34-200T, Qubec / Jean-Lesage International Airport, Quebec, 28 March 1998
- Report No. A98Q0043

On initial contact with the Qubec tower, the pilot was informed by the controller that the runway visual range (RVR) was 1400 feet, the observed visibility was mile in fog, and the vertical visibility was 100 feet.

While the aircraft was approaching, the crew of a Boeing 727, which was four minutes ahead, announced that they were doing a missed approach and that they wanted to turn back to Montral without attempting another approach. Later, during the approach, the pilot of the Piper was informed that the RVR was 1200 feet. At 200 feet, the published minimum approach height, the pilot initiated a missed approach.

The pilot did not follow the missed approach procedure. The controller had to intervene to bring him back south of the airport and eventually on a heading for a second approach. The instrument landing system missed approach procedure at Qubec is not complicated. The first part of the procedure simply requires staying on the runway's centreline and climbing to 3,300 feet. This allows the pilot to contact Air Traffic Services and prepare for the second part of the procedure. Although this procedure is simple, it quickly becomes complicated if the workload increases, as during a missed approach. The situation can further deteriorate if the pilot has little experience and training and is the only crew member. This pilot had 63 hours of instrument time but only 1 hour in the previous 6 months.

The pilot also performed a missed approach on the second approach. The radar data indicate that the aircraft's speed increased while its altitude continued to drop. The pilot did not modify the aircraft's attitude to begin a pull-up, and the aircraft crashed 3342 feet (about 1019 m) from the threshold of Runway 06. One of the five occupants suffered minor injuries.

Not Cleared for Take-Off

Airbus Industrie A319 / Cessna 172, Calgary International Airport, Alberta, 27 February 1999
- Report No. A99W0036

The Cessna pilot advised the controller that he would backtrack on Runway 25 for 400 feet. The controller replied that the Cessna would be number one for departure because the other aircraft (another Cessna) on Runway 25 was going to the end of the runway. According to the example given in the Air Traffic Control Manual of Operations (ATC MANOPS), the phraseology used should have been, "(Cessna), number two for departure, traffic A319 departing Runway 16." No mention was made to the Cessna that the A319 would be the first to depart. Twenty-one seconds later, the controller issued take-off clearance to the A319.

The Cessna pilot was not aware that the A319 was in position on Runway 16 and did not hear the take-off clearance issued to that aircraft, although they were on the same frequency. Believing he had authorization to take off, he applied power and began the take-off roll. He had second thoughts, however, and momentarily applied brakes. He looked to his right and saw the A319, but was unsure whether that aircraft was moving.

The controller told the Cessna pilot to abort; however, the pilot continued the take-off. The controller also told the A319 to abort, which it did.

The Cessna pilot was relatively inexperienced and not yet completely familiar with the speed and complexity of radio communications and the radio monitoring requirements at Calgary. He faced several distractions on this take-off. First, he had planned on using Runway 16 but was offered Runway 25, which he accepted. He did not expect to be authorized to follow the other Cessna and did not expect to be offered take-off in front of it.

His previous experience had prepared him to believe that, once on a runway, he was expected to carry out the take-off procedure without delay. On several occasions in the past, he had also missed the "cleared for take-off" instruction and had been prompted by his instructor to begin take-off. In this situation, he assumed that he had similarly missed the clearance amid the other verbiage. The runway had just been made available to him, the only other traffic of which he was aware (the other Cessna) was behind him, and he had been told that he was number one.

The radio skills and the heightened situational awareness necessary to operate on the surface or close to Calgary International Airport are not specifically targeted during training. Rather, pilots are expected to acquire these skills and awareness by exposure to the various situations encountered during training. This may not ensure sufficient familiarity with all the common safety-related circumstances and practices of which a student or newly licenced pilot should be aware. Those situations that are experienced may not be presented with enough emphasis to convince inexperienced pilots to devise methods to assure themselves that all appropriate clearances and instructions have been followed.
