It is a fine aircraft. Looks like the troubles are with poor maintenance and inspection procedures. I was involved with the original flight tests of this bird. It is a fine aircraft.

Btw. was the last SAS incident caused by human error (by maintenance personnel) <a href="http://blog.flightstory.net/375/preliminary-investigation-report-sas-dhc8-q400-ln-rdi-accident/" rel="nofollow"> Read Preliminary Investigation Report</a> If these planes would be generally unsafe, then the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) would have had grounded this type in Europe at all after the SAS investigations.
