Head of Dryden Plane Crash Inquiry Calls for Chang

The one-time head of an inquiry that examined the 1989 crash of a
commuter jet in Dryden says proposed changes to the Aeronautics Safety Act
don’t adequately address a lack of federal oversight of airline safety and
he fears it’s just a matter of time before another Canadian passenger plane
goes down because of it.
Virgil Moshansky, whose three-year inquiry found safety deficiencies’
contributed to the deaths of 24 people aboard the Air Ontario jet, says
Transport Canada is handing off too much responsibililty to airlines to set
and carry out their own safety protocols
The jet was headed to Winnipeg from Dryden when it was allowed to take
off with too much snow on its wings and crashed shortly after take-off.
