		Bombardier’s chief of flight test operations and safety stated that the document was not used in Bombardier’s sustaining programs at the time of the accident but that it was a phased-in program that had been implemented in the company’s developmental (experimental) programs, such as the RJ 700 program.
		The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the pilot’s excessive takeoff rotation, during an aft center of gravity (c.g.) takeoff, a rearward migration of fuel during acceleration and takeoff and consequent shift in the airplane’s aft c.g.

	Bombardier Guided Light Transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though both these cities refer to their networks as ‘tramways on tyres’, the GLT is in fact a model of guided dual-mode bus, capable of both following a central guidance rail and running independently like a conventional bus.
		GLT is the only model of bus produced by Bombardier’s transport division, which is otherwise focused on rail transport.
		In Caen, where the central guidance rail has been installed on all sections of the passenger-service route, they follow the model used by trams, collecting their power from a single pantograph and returning it through the central guidance rail, and use their diesel motors and steering wheels only while travelling to and from the depot.

		Since the dawn of time, humans have used creativity to adapt their transport methods to their environment — particularly in northern countries.

		Before departure three simple modifications were made to the vehicles: the addition of a gas reservoir on the hood, the shortening of the seat for more storage space, and the insertion of metal studs in the rubber track to increase traction on ice.
