NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

On March 12, 2011, a Bombardier BD100, registration N818RC, operated by Tri Marine Logistics, departed the runway to the right while landing on runway 35 at Iqaluit Airport (CYFB), Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. The airplane stopped about 100 feet from the edge of the runway in a snow bank. Skid marks left by the nose wheels on the runway show incorrectly orientated nose gear. The flight originated in Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field), Long Beach, California, and was making a fuel stop at CYFB enroute to Milan Linate Airport, Milan, Italy. The incident is being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. In accordance with ICAO Annex 13, the NTSB has appointed a U.S. Accredited Representative as State of Registry.
