- Aircraft: ATR42-300
- Location: Churchill, Manitoba, Canada

An ATR 42 300 operated by Calm Air International on a scheduled flight from Thompson to Churchill, Manitoba, landed normally at Churchill. While the crew was braking and leaving the runway the right main landing gear collapsed, and the propeller and wing struck the ground. All five occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair; the Canadian TSB file is A14C0039, but the report itself was not located.
