RT by @SpaethFlies: Just before the completion of one year, TSB Canada has issued an investigation update on 17 February 2025, Endeavor Air CRJ-900 aircraft runway impact at the Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport: - The aircraft wreckage was removed from the accident site and transported to a hangar at CYYZ for examination and analysis. - The right wing, landing gear, wing box structure and several components were subsequently sent to the TSB’s Engineering Laboratory in Ottawa for further testing. - A comprehensive metallurgical examination of the fracture surfaces on the wing and landing gear has been completed, and detailed analysis of this work is ongoing. - Data from all on-board recorders—including the flight data recorder, quick access recorder, cockpit voice recorder, enhanced ground proximity warning system, and other on-board units—have been downloaded and analyzed. - Several hours of recorded data from previous flights of the occurrence aircraft were also reviewed and compared with the occurrence flight. - Data from NAV CANADA's Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System and the GTAA’s closed-circuit television systems have been analyzed to support the review of the approach, landing, evacuation, and emergency response. - The investigation team conducted simulator exercises at the operator’s facility. The approach profile, including occurrence speeds and thrust settings, was examined in a series of exercises, and the analysis of the simulations is ongoing. #investigation
