One of 25 (down to just 14 as of the April 30, 2020 update) Embraer ERJ-190 aircraft in the Air Canada fleet, C-FHNL is destined to be phased out by the airline with the eventual arrival of Bombardier CS300 airliners. That is, if Boeing doesn’t shut down the iconic airplane manufacturer with their lawyers and greedy ways before that time. We photographed this particular aircraft while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on August 25, 2017.

C-FHNL
C-FHNL was delivered to Air Canada on March 30, 2007. The airliner is configured for a maximum total of 97 passengers with nine seats in business class, 20 more in premium economy and 68 seats in economy class. This is one of 25 Embraer ERJ-190 aircraft in the Air Canada fleet and will be phased out in the years to come, replaced by Bombardier CS300 airliners.
On August 11, 2009, C-FHNL was flying from Toronto, Ontario to Seattle, Washington. On approach to Seattle, the crew reported flaps problems an aborted the approach. The landing was diverted to the Boeing Field as their runway is 10,000 feet in length. The longest runway at SeaTac was closed at the time for maintenance. The result was the #3L slat actuator being replaced. A spoiler fault was also experienced but no fault was found. That system was reset and tested operational.
On August 12, 2014, the Embraer ERJ-190 was flying from Ottawa, Ontario to Edmonton, Alberta. Nearing Edmonton at 34,000 feet, a Park Brake Not Released indication was received. The aircraft landed safely at YEG. The result was the replacement of the park brake pressure switch.
