The transportation safety Board did not blame the Pilot and his Crew in its final report on what caused flight 358 to skid off a runway at Toronto a Pearson International Airport on aug. 2, 2005, during torrential rain. Rather the report targeted the systemic failures behind the crash noting 10 More aircraft have crashed globally in similar circumstances since then. It made seven recommendations to both transport Canada and the worlds regulatory bodies on preventing future Acci dents. A recommendation that pilots and their Crews be better trained to land planes in treacherous weather was aimed at preventing crashes. And chief among the measures intended to mini Mize injuries after a crash was a recommendation to Force Canadian airports to bring runway safety zones up to inter National standards. In the past 25 years at least one air Craft a month overran a runway some where in the world ? one aircraft a month said Board chairwoman Wendy Tadros.

It was very Neutral in that sense he said of the report. That just frustrates the recommendation to extend the safety zone is strikingly similar to one made by a coroners jury following the 1978 crash of an air Canada dc-9, also at Pearson International Airport. Two peo ple were killed and 47 seriously injured. All 309 passengers and Crew of air France flight 358 miraculously survived the 2005 crash. Still Tadros said no one should have to go through what they went Tadros added she is optimistic the boards renewed Call to lengthen runway safety zones will have an influence on transport Canada. Transport minister Lawrence Cannon said transport Canada fully supports the intent of the officials Are currently reviewing the contents of the report Cannon said in a release.
