Canadian authorities described the runway as dry, with no crosswind conditions. Yeah right...

Until the investigation is complete, all this is just pointless speculation.

Frangible wing bolts work. Wing detached and burned away from the fuse. Good design.

I 100% feel basic airmanship is the issue. 500' at 110 kts decending at 1100 ft/min. in gusty conditions.......not good! You can see in the video how "squirly" the airplane is prior to touchdown and then see the bottom drop out. They were WAY to slow!

The latest video does not suggest the crosswind was a issue. For either mechanical or pilot issues there was no flare.
The official was stating conditions which runway was dry and no crosswinds. Runway is 237 degrees, wind was 270 direction. 30 degree crosswind...... May have not played a role in the accident, but to say there was no crosswind at all is a bit of a fib..... |

Until the investigation determines otherwise, my speculation as to the cause of the incident is unrecoverable windshear. For all we know the thrust was max and pitch was attempted into the flight director, exactly as taught.
Also, any landing you can walk away from... |
