recent/current incident

Apparently the BAS Dash 7 had a problem on landing at Sky Blu when one engine had the reverse thrust malfunction - this resulted in the aircraft skidding round on the ice. The aircraft is currently stranded at Sky Blu, whilst equipment, engineers and a new engine are being ferried out to it in BAS Twin Otters. The Dash 7 is tethered to holes cut in the ice and chocked into a bay cut into snow - all to give some protection from strong winds.

All this is "word of mouth" - does anyone have any sources (now, or likely in the near future) that may provide sufficient for addition to the article?ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 23:42, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

lower case title

I have reverted the edits by User:Username006 and here, I hope, is an answer to the question:

The name de Havilland has the first part start with a lower case letter. That is the way people with this name want it to be, so that is the way it is. You will find that all (I believe - not going to check every one) of the Wikipedia articles on aircraft made by de Havilland adhere to this spelling convention. Therefore, I think we can take it that there is a consensus of editors on the matter.

WP:NCLOWERCASEFIRST explains why names of his sort are a problem for Wikipedia. ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ThoughtIdRetired: Thank you. I might have been mistaken here. ~~I suggest the same for De Havilland Canada Dash 8 then as I was basing it off of that.~~ Username006 (talk) 17:54, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, as the name of the manufacturer changed sometime in the 2010's. Username006 (talk) 18:02, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Current airline and other operators

I have added a banner, as there seems to be some sort of witchcraft going on. The article states only 17 remain in service, and yet with over 20 airlines apparently operating them, and over twenty countries with operators!?!? There must be an error somewhere. 12:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC) Chaosdruid (talk) 12:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They are only five operators listed in current airlines, the rest are in former operators. MilborneOne (talk) 17:56, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Takeoff distance" and "Landing run" missing

As declared a STOL-plane some values should be given in the "Specifications" section for the /7. 46.114.5.208 (talk) 13:04, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
