Two Individuals Transported to Hospital
Following the hard landing, two individuals were taken to the hospital for medical evaluation and treatment. David Orazietti, the president of Sault College, confirmed the transportation of the individuals. The plane involved in the incident was identified as C-GERR, a single-engine Zlin aircraft. It is worth noting that Sault College recently acquired two new Zlin aircraft from the Czech Republic last year.
Details of the Incident
According to Orazietti, a student and instructor were carrying out routine training exercises when they encountered difficulties during their landing, resulting in the hard landing on the runway. Thankfully, both the student and instructor emerged from the incident unharmed. Orazietti emphasized that safety is the top priority in the aviation program at Sault College and assured that a thorough investigation will be conducted to determine the circumstances that led to the incident.
Previous Incident
This is not the first aviation incident involving Sault College in recent months. In February, a second-year student at the college was forced to make an emergency landing on a service road at Montreal River during a training flight. The series of incidents underscores the importance of stringent safety measures and protocols in aviation training programs.
As Orazietti highlighted, accidents of this nature are extremely rare considering the high volume of takeoffs and landings conducted each year. The college remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its students and instructors through continuous evaluation and improvement of safety procedures.
