- Date: May 20, 2007
- Aircraft: Canadair RegionalJet CRJ-100
- Location: Toronto-Lester Bowles Pearson, Ontario, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The captain's attention lapsed during the final approach, leaving the less experienced first officer to handle the approach. The first officer did not follow SOPs on the autopilot and thrust levers on short final, which made a bounce likely and removed bounce protection. The TSB also cited landing gear overhaul quality control.
An Air Canada Jazz CRJ-100 operating Flight 8911 from Moncton landed in a strong gusting crosswind at Toronto Pearson. It bounced, landed hard and both main gear trunnion fittings failed, collapsing the gear. The aircraft stayed upright, slid down the runway and passengers deplaned from the taxiway.
