Oct 29, 2011 - Good job by the pilots. But this happens way way WAY to often with those planes (dash 8 made by bombardier in canada). And the canadiens just pretends that there is no problem..... shame on them.

Nov 14, 2011 - I flew in Dash 8 Q400 several times and it feels very safe from my point of view. I guess the landing gear issues have been resolved by now.

Nov 17, 2011 - i got love for the dash 8 they a the regional stars in the caribbean, impressive landing

Jan 11, 2012 - Why take 1 min to get these people to open the door? aren't this a emergency? shuoldn't they be trying to get out ASAP?

Jan 13, 2012 - Thank you for flying with Air New Zealand.

Jan 17, 2012 - Why don't they spray some fire retardent on the nose gear, u know its very hot an could catch fire. Why don't the fire men just run around the plane a hundred times then, DUMBYS!

concorde232 mowi:

Jan 30, 2012 - more like a CRASH-8 lol

thr33wisemonks mowi:

Mar 1, 2012 - What happened to the emergency safety procedure standards? All emergency exit doors of the aircraft should've been opened immediately so that passengers can disembark in emergency situations like this landing. It is the responsibility of the flight attendant to ensure the safety of passengers and crew are safe, to be more effective. I didn't see any of that. I only saw one door open and the passengers were walking off taking their time. You need to go back to ground school training.

Aphrobiteme mowi:

Mar 13, 2012 - There is not usually a flight attendant on flights of this size/duration in NZ.

Apr 1, 2012 - Great grass landing...! Replace the gear doors. . fix the nose gear problem and she is good to go!

nz3rdsqr mowi:

Apr 24, 2012 - only the 1900d in nz doesnt have attendants the rest do

bretto05208 mowi:

Apr 28, 2012 - a bit of an overkill with the emegency crew, dont you think?

Kahu1958 mowi:

Apr 29, 2012 - In hindsight maybe. But what if a nose gear door or partly lowered nose landing gear had rapidly steered the plane sideways which would probably have collapsed the main gear tearing open the wing fuel tanks and allowing the aircraft to role and possibly break up and burst into flames

BRABAZON49 mowi:

May 1, 2012 - I was more surprised at how long it seemed to take the appliances to arrive immediately at the aircraft, once the it came to a complete stop. I presume they were already on standby so how come they weren't "on the spot" more quickly? I have no problem with overkill at these situations so the time factor simply heightened my interest.

blakerwalk mowi:

May 13, 2012 - Very good landing, given the circumstances. Smooth, and let her nose down so gently. Excellent airmanship.

tdourado00 mowi:

May 21, 2012 - Miss you Blenheim and Kaikoura!!! hugs from Brazil!!!! Message to my x-boss on vineyard a nice indian guy "Where is my money?" Your f*cking idiot!!!!

Looknohands007 mowi:

May 22, 2012 - probably 30 out of the 41 people on board were so traumatised by this that they have moved to Australia by now..... surprised that there were actually 41 people still in NZ to fill a local commuter plane. Everytime i await arrival at Bris international the Air NZ flight is full of people carrying waaaaaay too much baggage for a week long stay ..... bro.

TinoDun101 mowi:

May 23, 2012 - Excellent Landing, way better than I would of done
