41 - Widerøe DHC-8 Flight 814 Windshear encounter

On December 2, 2010 a Wideroe DHC-8-100, was on approach to Helle when it suddenly had a significant loss of both speed and altitude. The flight crew regained control, but the airplane came very low (83 ft (25 m) above ground). During the recovery the airplane was exposed to high g-force and the engine torque limits were exceeded. The crew aborted the approach and continued to Leknes Airport where a normal landing was performed.

Wonder if that plane is equipped with proper windshear alert system. Job well done by pilots.
