Virgil P. Moshansky
Virgil P. Moshansky, C.M., Q.C., LL.B. (born September 14, 1928) is a Canadian judge. Born in Lamont, Alberta, he is a former Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta and a former mayor of Vegreville, Alberta. Air Ontario Flight 1363 On March 10, 1989, Air Ontario Flight 1363 crashed near Dryden, Ontario. Moshansky presided over the judicial inquiry. His report showed that competitive pressures caused by commercial deregulation cut into safety standards and that many of the industry's sloppy practices and questionable procedures placed the pilot in a very difficult situation, and the aircraft should not have been scheduled to refuel at an airport which did not have proper equipment and that neither training nor manuals had sufficiently warned the pilot of the dangers of ice on the wings of the Fokker F-28. Transport Canada 1995 Aviation Safety Award For his role in the investigation, Moshansky was awarded the 1995 Transport Canada Aviation Safety Award during the 7th ...

Fokker F-28
The Fokker F28 Fellowship is a twin-engined, short-range jet airliner designed and built by Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker. Following the Fokker F27 Friendship, an early and commercially successful turboprop-powered regional airliner, Fokker decided to embark on developing a new turbojet-powered commuter aircraft that would build upon its experiences with the F27. During the design phase, a high level of attention was paid to market research and operator concerns; amongst other changes made, the prospective jetliner was increased in size, changing its maximum seating capacity from 50 to 65 passengers.
