Description
Prince Edward Air flight CME320, a Beech 1900C, was on an IFR cargo flight from Moncton (CYQM) to Mirabel (CYMX) with two crew members on board. Following an “in transit” landing gear indication, the crew decided to land at Montreal/Trudeau (CYUL). On short final, the crew shut down the engines. With the ERS on site, the aircraft landed on runway 06R. The nose gear collapsed during landing, causing damage to the nose section, propellers and wings. The aircraft was evacuated on the runway. None of the crew members were injured. Runway 06R was closed from 0326Z to 1000Z. Runway 06L was used in the meantime. Because of this incident, four aircrafts could not leave the general aviation area.
