Dash-8 Q400's Grounded Due to Landing Gear Failures PDF Print E-mail
After the second collapse of a Q400 landing gear, Bombardier has recommended grounding all Q400's over 10,000 cycles until they can be inspected. This could prove to be devastating for a very promising next-generation turboprop program.

The ATR continues to demonstrate how a turboprop should be designed. The Q400 was the only competition for the ATR. They must be popping corks in Italy.

The Q400 is really the only thing that can do the job it does. On top of that the economics are extremely good WHEN it's running. These two items make it similar to a proverbial illicit drug to airlines: When its working it feels so good that even though you know its killing you... you can't stop.
