Safety history

July 17, 1990AccidentHull loss
The aircraft suffered an incident in Ecuador few days prior to this accident and damages were reported to the undercarriage. A ferry flight to Calgary was arranged so the aircraft could be repaired by technicians by De Havilland Canada. The flight from Quito to Calgary was completed with the undercarriage down.
De Havilland DHC-5 Buffalo

The internal damage to the controlcam mechanism allowed the wheels to be off centre at touchdown. Full accident record
