- Date: September 4, 2011
- Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-145
- Location: Ottawa-Macdonald-Cartier, Ontario, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Per TSB report A11H0003: an unstabilized approach with no go-around, a long and fast touchdown, and hydroplaning on a wet non-grooved runway, with the parking brake disabling anti-skid braking.
A United Express Embraer 145 landed at Ottawa in heavy rain, touching down well past the threshold at high speed. Braking was delayed, the parking brake disabled the anti-skid system, and the aircraft hydroplaned off the left side of the runway, where both main gears collapsed and a fuel leak developed. Everyone evacuated and there was no fire.
