Air Canada Suing Airbus
HALIFAX -- Airbus's negligence contributed to a crash landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport two years ago, Air Canada claims in a lawsuit against the French aircraft manufacturer. (www.bnn.ca) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I think this is merely legal strategy due to AC being sued by passengers from this accident. It will undoubtedly be used to push the liability argument from the operator to the manufacturer. If AC truly thought this is a systemic problem with the aircraft, would they not ground them all until a fix (software update) has been produced?
But now they KNOW....
Here is the Transport Safety Board Canada report so far..you can keep up to date by using the Aviation Investigation number http://www.bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/enquetes-investigations/aviation/2015/a15h0002/a15h0002.asp
And here is a copy of the lawsuit instigation some has mentioned: http://www.bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/enquetes-investigations/aviation/2015/a15h0002/a15h0002.asp
From what many have commented on here, and I apoligize as apparently I'm wrong in my speculation according to them, that on a localizer approach, the aircraft couldn't give mis-information as to glide slope angle or terrain distance.

Thanks for posting. Speculations are hypotheses subject to verification and change.
The link for the lawsuit duplicates that of the investigation. I think the copy of the lawsuit link failed and the previously copied link (investigation) was in cache. At least that's what usually happens to me.

Dang it..thanks for pointing that out joel, about the second link mistake..and as far as I can see, that is as far as the investigation report has given so far as it is still an on-going investigation.
Here is the correct 1st phase lawsuit link..it too is ongoing and is in preliminary:

Blame the airplane manufacturer, and everybody else they can think, looks to me like the crew didn't know how to maintain control.
