One of two Dash 8s used by Transport Canada for flight inspection of navigation and calibration of surveillance equipment. The aircraft, along with two similarly equipped Canadair Challengers were transferred to Nav Canada when Canada's ATC system was privatized in 1996. The mission of this Dash 8 was changed the next year when the National Aerial Surveillance Program was started by the Canadian Coast Guard. That program was taken over by Transport Canada in 2004.
