Incident: Air Canada A319 and NavCanada DH8A at Ottawa on Dec 15th 2008, runway separation lost

An Air Canada Airbus A319-100, registration C-FZUG performing flight AC446 from Toronto,ON to Ottawa,ON (Canada) with 98 people on board, was on an IFR approach to runway 25 of Ottawa and cleared to land runway 25. At the same time a NavCanada de Havilland Dash 8-100 was executing a VFR low approach to runway 32 performing calibration and inspection of the ILS. The tower informed both planes about the presense of the other. After touch down during roll out the crew of the Airbus noticed, that the Dash came along crossing runway 32 at a height of 50 feet, and applied maximum braking to avoid arriving at the intersection of the two runways at the same time as the Dash.

NavCanada is investigating based on the assessment, that runway separation was not adequately ensured.
