This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.A report by the Transportation Safety Board says improved runway safety measures have been made at Halifax Stanfield International Airport after an Air Canada passenger jet slid on a runway in blustery and icy conditions in March.

The TSB says the crew of another plane that had landed just before the Air Canada jet reported braking action as “very poor,” however those exact words were not relayed to the Air Canada crew in the plain language description of conditions they were given by the Halifax tower controller. “Therefore the crew prepared to apply aggressive deceleration early in the landing roll by using reverse thrust and auto-braking, to minimize exposure to the runway, which they understood to be very slippery.”
