Why do news outlets consistently get model names completely and frequently incorrect?

The linked article quotes an AC rep. so either she gave them the incorrect equipment type or they were given the correct type and screwed it up.

One would hope it's the latter...

The oven was turned off and the smoke quickly dissipated. The aircraft continued to Calgary for a safe landing.

The Canadian TSB reported that the smoke was the result of food spillage, a puddle of oil was cleaned up in the oven and the flight proceeded to Calgary.

Incident: Air Canada A320 at Los Angeles on Oct 30th 2011, jammed flaps


By Simon Hradecky, created Monday, Nov 7th 2011 23:13Z, last updated Monday, Nov 7th 2011 23:13Z

An Air Canada Airbus A320-200, registration C-FLSS performing flight AC-793 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Los Angeles,CA (USA) with 114 people on board, was on final approach to Los Angeles' runway 24R when the crew went around after receiving a "F/CTL FLAPS LOCKED" ECAM message. Working the checklists did not resolve the problem. The aircraft subsequently landed on Los Angeles' runway 25R at a higher than normal speed about 20 minutes later.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance reset the wing tip brake of the flaps system, subsequent checks revealed no further fault.

Scary one!

UPDATE from the TSB Daily Notification Log 10-11-2011 Occurrence Summary :A11O0208: A pallet carrying lithion-ion battery packs caught fire on the ramp while awaiting loading onto flight AUA72. ARFF extinguished the fire. The pallet was located clear of aircraft. The aircraft was not damaged. A second pallet of the same articles was not shipped and the flight departed without incident. Damaged components will be sent to the TSB engineering facility for further examination.

Admittedly not AC, although reported by AC.

These guys were real lucky that the fire started at the ramp. At least one UPS 747 and possibly another, Korean one, were recently lost as a result of Lithium battery fires.

An Air Canada Jazz plane returned to Toronto's Pearson Airport shortly after takeoff after a crew member fell ill on Monday.

The plane, with 75 passengers and four crew members on board, was heading to Fredericton, N.B. It was forced to turn back to Toronto just after 3 p.m.

Emergency crews met the plane and took one patient to the hospital.

Scary Runway incursion @ YYZ . . . AA/AC Close call!!

From av herald of course :
An American Eagle Embraer ERJ-145, registration N620AE performing flight MQ-4125 from Chicago O'Hare,IL (USA) to Toronto,ON (Canada), had just landed on Toronto's runway 24L and was vacating via taxiway D4. Tower instructed the aircraft to hold short of runway 24R, which was acknowledged by the crew.

An Air Canada Airbus A319-100, registration C-FYKR performing flight AC-614 from Toronto,ON to Halifax,NS (Canada), was cleared for takeoff on runway 24R and was accelerating for takeoff, when the ERJ-145 failed to stop before the hold short line prompting the tower controller to call "Eagle 4125, STOP! STOP! STOP!" followed by the reply of the crew "Say again!" about 5 seconds later.
Transport Canada cited the tower controller that the Eagle Embraer continued despite the STOP instructions and finally stopped partially on the runway. The Airbus A319-100 rotated at about taxiway D2 and climbed over the Embraer.

An observer looking down the runway saw the Embraer already penetrating the runway edge and estimated the distance between the two aircraft less than 10 meters when the Airbus flew over the Embraer. The Airbus had become airborne about abeam taxiway D2 about 1500 feet/485 meters before the intersection with taxiway D4.


If anyone has link to the ATC during this event, please post. That's about as intense as it gets in the tower w/out an accident
