Narrative:
Calm Air International flight CAV224, an ATR 42-320, was conducting the RNAV approach for runway 16 at CYBK, when the aircraft encountered 50 knot winds when flying from the initial approach waypoint to the intermediate approach waypoint. When the aircraft turned final, the winds slowly decreased. The pilot flying initially had difficulty spotting the runway due to the large crab angle and moderate rain. The aircraft crossed the threshold at about 50 feet, flared, and the touchdown was slightly left of the center of the runway. The aircraft drifted to the left side of the runway and made contact with 2 runway lights. The aircraft taxied to the terminal where a post flight inspection revealed damage to the left main landing gear door and weight on wheel switch.
