Seems that they had started their descent into YQR (dropped to FL220), and then, wham, they turn around, climb back to FL310, and land in YWG 35 minutes later.

Don't see anything on CADORS. After being at YWG for an hour, they took off and flew to Regina, so anyone have an idea what happened?
CADORS reports are normally delayed on the weekend. As of right now, there are only 3 dated between 17/9 and 19/9. Check again tomorrow and you'll likely be able to find something.

From the CADORS, an interesting one:


"2011-09-23

The Air Canada Boeing 767-375 aircraft (C-GSCA, operating as flight ACA882) had landed after a scheduled IFR flight from Toronto (LBPIA) (CYYZ) to Copenhagen International Airport, Kastrup (Denmark) (EKCH). SAS Airlines Technical Services reported that they were tasked to replace the aircraft's angle of attack (AoA) sensor. Due to the short time available to effect the sensor change, the cure time of the sealer was not going to be sufficient. Maintenance Operations Control raised a production permit to release the aircraft without the sealer, however, the maintenance technician still applied the sealer and also applied high speed tape to retain the sealer. During the return flight, the high speed tape shifted during flight causing the AoA sensor to fail. Air Canada Maintenance staff and SAS Airlines Maintenance staff are investigating. "

Calgary police are looking for whoever is responsible for pointing a laser beam at aircraft on approach to the Calgary airport.


Two pilots reported incidents of laser beams entering their cockpits on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011, just after 9:00 p.m.


Police say an Air Canada Jazz and a Westjet flight were both on their final approach when the incidents happened.


There were no reported injuries to the flight crews.

Apparently again, same flight, on Sept. 29, but only one person injured:

"ACA832, an Airbus A330 operated by Air Canada, was on an IFR flight from Toronto (CYYZ) to Montral/Trudeau (CYUL). At approximately 80 NM from Montral/Trudeau, the aircraft crossed an area of severe turbulence. A passenger was apparently injured. A medical team, which was waiting for the passengers when they arrived at Montral/Trudeau, attended to the injured passenger. ******************* ACA832, un Airbus A330 exploit par Air Canada, effectuait un vol selon les rgles de vol aux instruments (IFR) depuis Toronto (CYYZ) destination de Montral/Trudeau (CYUL). environ 80 milles nautiques de Montral/Trudeau, l'aronef a travers une zone de turbulence svre.
