Incident: Sky Regional DH8D at Moncton on Apr 21st 2014, passenger detects wheel damage


By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Apr 30th 2014 20:30Z, last updated Wednesday, Apr 30th 2014 20:31Z

A Sky Regional de Havilland Dash 8-400 on behalf of Air Canada, registration C-FSRW performing flight RS-7527/AC-7527 from Moncton,NB to Montreal,QC (Canada), was in the initial climb when a passenger notified the crew the outboard right hand main wheel had suddenly stopped during the departure roll and had started to emit smoke. The crew decided to continue the flight to Montreal. Upon descending towards Montreal the crew notified ATC of the problem with the wheel and requested emergency services on stand by for the arrival. The aircraft landed safely on Montreal's runway 24R.

The Canadian TSB reported that the right main wheel bearing, the brake, wheel and and axle assembly were replaced. The aircraft manufacturer is investigating the occurrence.

AC 8488, a Jazz DH3 doing YEG-YQR seems to have flown at only 11,000 feet last night (May 1), with the return cancelled and AC adding an extra flight, AC 7093 today (May 2nd, over 12 hours later). Does anyone know what might have happened here? Pressurization problems? Cracked windshield?

Incident: Jazz CRJ2 near New York on Apr 30th 2014, control difficulties


By Simon Hradecky, created Friday, May 2nd 2014 22:28Z, last updated Friday, May 2nd 2014 22:28Z

A Jazz Canadair CRJ-200, registration C-GKEK performing flight QK-7733 from New York La Guardia,NY (USA) to Ottawa,ON (Canada) with 53 people on board, was climbing from FL260 to FL320 on autopilot in LNAV mode. The aircraft entered a left hand turn on autopilot, but remained in the left turn despite turning through the required new heading. The crew disconnected the autopilot and attempted to roll the wings level, however, found the controls stiff with the aircraft still remaining in the left turn. The crew applied power to the yoke to return the aircraft to wings level, a snap occurred in the controls then the wheel permitted to return the aircraft to wings level. The crew stopped the climb at FL280, worked the related checklists and found the aircraft fully controllable, therefore decided to continue the flight to Ottawa where the aircraft landed safely about 40 minutes later.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the electronically controller servo actuator of the ailerons which was found sticking. All cables and pulleys were examined with no faults found. A subsequent test flight revealed no further fault and the aircraft was returned to service.

I was driving over the Arthur Lang bridge at about 4:15 today and (what looked to me like) an AC B777 was landing and at the last second pulled up very sharply.
I looked a bit closer and it looked like a smaller aircraft was actually on the runway and then proceeded to turn off. From the arrivals schedule maybe this was AC 8?
anybody there today or heard anything? It looked a bit scary.

Go-arounds are actually a somewhat occurrence. If it was a close call, it should show up on http://avherald.com/ in a few days. I've been on two flights before when there was a go around at the last second (other pax seemed quite scared and nervous, however presuming that it was a go around I remained calm. Must've been an interesting sight tho!

Dang it!

I was spotting at 26R yesterday at that time, I'd love to see a 777 go-around up close!

An Air Canada Embraer ERJ-190, registration C-FNAX performing flight AC-1177 from Montreal,QC to Calgary,AC (Canada) with 95 people on board, was enroute at FL300 about 120nm northwest of Montreal when the crew declared emergency reporting emissions of unknown nature in the cabin. The aircraft returned to Montreal for a safe landing about 40 minutes later. The aircraft stopped on the runway and was towed to the apron.

The Canadian TSB reported the maintenance team performed an inspection using ultraviolet beams, replaced the filters, cleaned the left hand air conditioning system and performed full power ground runs to purge any odour.

Air Canada pilots landing in Halifax on Monday reported that a laser beam may have been directed into the cockpit, a dangerous trend that’s rising sharply in Canada.

The flight, an Airbus arriving from Toronto, was approaching the runway when the possible laser strike happened, according to a report entered Tuesday into a Transport Canada database.

Laser beams pose a serious risk to both pilots and passengers, according to Transport Canada. They may only distract the pilot, but they can also completely block their vision and even permanently damage their eyesight.

Monday’s incident didn’t cause any operational trouble, said the report, and will be investigated.

Just came in on 189 YOW-YVR, after a long landing roll-out we parked away from the terminal with a bunch of fire trucks waiting - after 5 or 10 minutes the captain came on and made an announcement to the effect of "well, you can all hear the alarms going off up here, we're not really sure what that's about, so we're going to give it another minute or two and then taxi to the gate".

Got to the gate, more fire trucks waiting, walked off without incident.

Flightradar says we diverted to YOW, but I'm almost certain we didn't...

EDIT: Looks like the aircraft from that flight (C-FPCA) hasn't left Vancouver since then.

Anyone know more?

An Air Canada Embraer ERJ-190, registration C-FHNY performing flight AC-128 from Calgary,AB to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 95 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Calgary's runway 35L but rejected takeoff at high speed (about 130 KIAS) due to airframe vibrations. The aircraft slowed safely, vacated the runway and stopped requesting emergency services to inspect/cool the hot brakes.

Incident: Jazz DH8A near Quebec on Jun 13th 2014, engine oil woes


By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Jun 18th 2014 15:13Z, last updated Wednesday, Jun 18th 2014 15:13Z

A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-100, registration C-GONX performing flight QK-8964 from Baie Comeau,QC to Montreal,QC (Canada) with 9 people on board, was enroute near Quebec City,QC when the left hand engine's oil pressure indication dropped to 40 psi. The crew worked the relevant checklists, reduced the power lever to idle and feathered the propeller. Once the propeller was feathered the oil pressure indication increased to 50 psi and stabilized at 55 psi again. The crew continued to Montreal with the left hand engine idling. The aircraft landed safely.

The Canadian TSB reported that no low oil pressure warning occurred, only the pressure indication was abnormal with no other abnormal parameter being observed.
