As the retirement of Air Canada’s Embraer ERJ-190 aircraft draws nearer, we are scrambling to photograph and feature the whole collection. C-FHKA is our 17th E190 featured, to date, with 25 total currently flying for the Canadian airline. We photographed this Embraer 190 on July 10, 2018 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-FHKA
C-FHKA was delivered new to Air Canada on September 22, 2006. This is one of 25 currently in the main fleet with phaseouts to commence later in 2018. The plan is to retire the entire fleet of Embraer 190 aircraft by the end of 2019. This E190 is configured for a maximum total of 97 passengers with eight seats in business class and 88 economy class seats.
2013 has been the only blemish in this airliner’s record. On June 21, 2013, the Embraer ERJ-190 was flying from Montreal, Quebec to St. John’s, Newfoundland. Cruising at 37,000 feet, just north of Halifax, Nova Scotia, a low oil pressure indication was received from the left side engine. The engine was shut down and the airplane was diverted to Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) for a safe landing. As a result, the oil pressure transmitter was replaced.
Later that year, on September 6, 2013, C-FHKA was flying from Calgary, Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia. The climb out of YYC was stopped at 14,000 feet due to vibrations on the control column. The airplane diverted back to Calgary for a safe landing. As a result, the right side inboard elevator power control unit, the autopilot elevator servo and the I/O module were replaced.
