One cannot say that SK and LH do not do their aircraft maintenance properly. So, there must be something wrong with the plane. Are the SK Q400 still grounded ?

D-ADHA is the one.

Landing gear damage on 23 of SAS's Dash 8's-report

An inspection of SAS's remaining Dash 8-400 aircraft has shown that 23 out of the 25 planes had corrosion damage on their landing gear, Danish trade paper Ingenioren reported on Friday.

SAS Dash 8-400 planes crash landed in Lithuania on Sept. 12 and in Denmark on Sept. 9 after their landing gear failed. No one was seriously hurt in either incident.

Ingenioren quoted Karl Erik Mortensen, head of flight inspection at the Scandinavian civil aviation authorities, as saying that corrosion levels varied, but that several of the aircraft had damage on both sets of landing gear.

SAS was not immediately available to comment.

On Thursday, the Danish Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) said the flight ban on SAS's Dash 8-400 aircraft would be lifted gradually as each plane is inspected.

The CAA currently holds the rotating chairmanship of Scandinavian aviation authorities, which also include Sweden and Norway.

SAS, which has cancelled hundreds of flights since Sept. 12, has said grounding the planes, made by Canadian firm Bombardier , costs up to 15 million Swedish crowns ($2.28 million) per day.

Half of SAS is owned by the governments of Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

Info: I saw a LH regional Q400 land at BRU today...

Isn't this a bad idea?

LH is only operating the ones with less then 10000 hours; the otherones
are also grounded for inspection.

As the problems situate on aircraft with more then 10000 hours, there should be no problem.

So far we did not have any problems on one of our MUC-BRU-MUC flights.
