The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) says designated landing zones should be available for aircraft in harbours following a crash between a floatplane and a water taxi in Tofino in 2021.
The crash occurred on Oct. 18, 2021, when a Tofino Air Havilland DHC-2 MK. I aircraft hit a water taxi, called the Rocky Pass, while it was landing near the First Street dock in Tofino.Three passengers on the plane received minor injuries in the crash, while one passenger on the water taxi also received minor injuries.
Nearby water taxi pilot Kenney Brown was one of the first people on scene to help rescue passengers after the crash."I pulled the child in first, then the father and then the two ladies," Brown told CTV News in the days that followed the crash. The Transportation Safety Board says the October 2021 collision between the floatplane and the water taxi was caused because neither the pilot nor the captain realized their routes would run into each other.
The TSB notes that after the crash occurred, it also alerted Transport Canada to the fact that there were no speed limits in place for vessels in the Tofino harbour at the time.
