Incident: Jazz DH8D near Montreal on Oct 10th 2016, temporary loss of control...

A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GIJZ performing flight QK-8512 from Charlottetown,PE to Montreal,QC (Canada) with 71 people on board, was enroute at FL240 about 200nm eastnortheast of Montreal when the aircraft encountered moderate to severe turbulence, that lasted for about 3-4 minutes. The autopilot disconnected, the aircraft encountered large changes in pitch and roll. The crew requested a descent to FL180, where conditions had been reported smooth. The first officer was unable to reach the flight guidance panel, the captain therefore attempted to regain control of the aircraft and succeeded following some more yaw, pitch and roll oscillations. The aircraft stabilized at FL180, the flight crew inquired with the cabin about condition of cabin crew and passengers and was informed that no injuries had occurred, just a trolley cart had tripped over. The aircraft continued to Montreal for a safe landing about 40 minutes later.
The Canadian TSB reported the operator downloaded the data from the flight data recorder. None of the limits stated in the aircraft maintenance manual had been exceeded, therefore no further maintenance action was required.

An Air Georgian Canadair CRJ-200, registration C-GKEM performing flight ZX-7388 from Kansas City,MO (USA) to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 34 people on board, was accelerating for takeoff from Kansas City between V1 and Vr when the crew felt unusual vibrations from the nose gear and sensed a subtle change in directional control. The crew continued takeoff, on climb out the crew requested a runway inspection, which revealed tyre debris on the runway. The crew followed the "Unsafe Landing Procedure", decided to continue to destination, requested dispatch to have a tow available on landing, declared PAN on approach to Toronto, and performed a safe landing in Toronto. The already waiting tug towed the aircraft to the apron, where passengers disembarked.
The Canadian TSB reported that maintenance while following the nose tyre burst inspection replaced both nose wheel and tyre assemblies, the damaged nose landing gear aft door and the right hand nose landing gear release pin.

Once clear of conflict both aircraft continued to their destinations for safe landings.
The Canadian TSB reported according to radar data the separation between the two aircraft reduced to 0 feet vertical and 0.4nm horizontal involving a risk of collision, an investigation has been opened into the occurrence.

A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GGNF performing flight QK-8978 from Ottawa,ON to Montreal,QC (Canada) with 31 passengers and 4 crew, was in the initial climb out of Ottawa when the crew observed the left hand engine's (PW150A) oil pressure had increased to 73 psi and reduced power on that engine, the oil pressure however increased further and reached 140 psi. Descending towards Montreal the crew shut the engine down and continued to Montreal for a safe landing on runway 28 about 40 minutes after departure.
The Canadian TSB reported the engine wiring harness was replaced, which solved the problem.

I assume it has a very specific meaning, because in my mind, something that prevents you from continuing to work is NOT minor.

I suspect if the injury required diversion or hospitalization then I suspect the injury is NOT minor.

Well, for example a sprained ankle or wrist, badly bruised leg, arm or hand muscle are a type of injury that is sufficient enough to prevent an FA from performing their duties safely, I would hardly say such an injury is anything but minor.
I suspect if the injury required diversion or hospitalization then I suspect the injury is NOT minor.

I scratched my hand, drew blood, and need a bandaid. That's minor, but still needs to be reported.
