Overview

• The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has identified the collapse of the right main landing gear as the primary factor in the February 17 crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
• The landing gear failure caused the wing to detach, releasing jet fuel that ignited a fire; the aircraft flipped onto its roof during the incident.
• All 80 passengers and crew survived, though 21 people sustained injuries, including two serious cases; all have since been released from the hospital.
• The first officer, who was operating the aircraft during the landing, had 1,422 hours of flying experience, below FAA minimums, but was allowed to fly under a special waiver due to her aviation degree.
• Investigators are still examining contributing factors, including environmental conditions and procedural adherence, with no timeline yet for the final report.
