A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-300, registration C-FRUZ performing flight QK-8319 (dep Jan 5th) from Toronto,ON to Sault Ste Marie,ON (Canada) with 35 people on board, was on approach to Sault Ste Marie's runway 30 when the crew used their #2 radio to transmit their intentions on the mandatory frequency. The aircraft continued for a landing. During roll out the flight crew noticed a snow plough on the runway near the end and were able to stop before the vehicle.

"I'm gonna have a number for you to call, eh? Soar-y, but holy! That could have been aboot the worst disaster in airport history!"

I'm a retired ATPL (gained in the 80's)....
The idea that the Dash-8 crew thought it was remotely OK to continue their approach in poor weather and visibility KNOWING that the ground crew had been actually working on the active runway DURING the approach, and NOT receiving ANY confirmation at all that the trucks had vacated, and then landing anyway, is beyond belief....
Without hearing from the trucks, they're legally obliged to go-around.....Blaming their No2 Comms is ludicrous..
.....This ranks as gross negligence and in Europe would be sackable.............No if's' no buts....

I just found the whole thing funny for some reason😂

I’m not even a pilot but I’m very interested in aviation. Even I know that at a tower controlled airport you never land unless you get clearance. If you don’t get clearance before you hit minimums you go around. There should NEVER be any assuming going on. You always make 100% sure that you are cleared to land.

Not good.

[@user-iu3yv9jt4k]

Listening to his excuses about the radio was just cringe worthy. I would've respected him a lot more if he just said "yeah, we screwed up."

[@billjones3071]

Aaaa!

[@Chris56456]

Why does he need a clearance

[@kalamageo]

To avoid crashing into the snow blowers? True it's an uncontrolled airport but those runways don't clear themselves.
