On 19 October 2022, an unstable approach to Sandy Lake by a de Havilland DHC8-300 was followed by a mishandled landing attempt by the First Officer involving excessive pitch up and a tail strike and when the Captain recognised a go-around was intended, he took over and completed the landing. The Captain had recently been promoted after 3,000 hours as a First Officer and the First Officer had just been released on his first two-pilot aircraft type after over 70 hours line training. Regulatory oversight appeared not to have detected that the operator’s safety management system was comprehensively unfit for purpose.
