moeman Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/flight-leaving-montreal-forced-to-make-emergency-landing Quote Flight AC017 Montreal-Shanghai had just departed at 1:31 p.m. when a warning light forced pilots to turn off one of two engines on the plane, a Boeing 787-Dreamliner, and turn back toward the airport while alerting emergency services. The crew dumped fuel on its way back to lighten the weight of the aircraft. The plane landed safely, Air Canada spokesperson Isabelle Arthur said, and technicians are investigating the cause of the problem. Passengers were being rerouted to their destinations, she said.

Guest Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Professional response by a professional Canadian Trained Crew! Just in a days work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yes but who really enjoys having to "turn off an engine". Next safe thing would be to put it in park and wait for CAA to arrive. A highschool friend of mine is the Gazette's sports editor. I'll have to send him a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudder Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 That is what it looks and sounds like when two well trained and highly competent professionals take an abnormal situation and make it look routine. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what it looks and sounds like when any of our well trained and highly competent Air Canada pilots take an abnormal situation and make it look routine.

While I laud the Air Canada pilots' response, I have to take a bit of issue Kip!!! There are many well trained and highly competent non-Air Canada pilots in this here Canada!

Kip Powick Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I am well aware of that fact Moon, (competent, pilots in Canada), however this incident was relative to one airline and personally I see nothing wrong with throwing the AC pilots a bouquet seeing that oft times they are not given the credit that is due. To suggest, be it tangentially, that I do not admire non-Air Canada pilots who hold their own personal vocation within the flying industry, whether it be here in Canada or as ex-pats, is erroneous at best. Perhaps you should swing over to the Av Herald and read the"full" interview with Simon where he feels Canada has one of the best safety/incident reporting programs in the world, ergo, we have extremely conscientious and professional pilots in the Great White North. http://www.avherald.com/h?article=45483425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I believe the VP of Maintenance at AC would like to know why a new GE engine needed to be shut down. GE is having issues around the globe with this engine series. Seems to be related to oil pump/pressure problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Oh, I think it's safe to say he was aware of this incident within minutes of it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, ha. Of that I have no doubt. However if there's a GE rep in YUL they've got some explaining to do. I think GE is aware of the issues on the 787/GNex and and its sister 777/GE90 series engines. As a precaution they are currently installing different oil filters or pumps on each engine, left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
