C-FNND
C-FNND took its first flight on January 31, 2008 and was delivered to Air Canada on February 14, 2008. As mentioned, this is one of six Boeing 777-200LR variants in the Air Canada fleet. The aircraft is configured for a maximum total of 300 passengers with 40 seats in business class, 24 more in premium economy and 236 seats in economy class.
Incidents
The airliner has had some issues over the past few years. On April 2, 2014, C-FNND was flying from Vancouver, British Columbia to Sydney, Australia. While climbing out of YVR, the crew from the next departure reported that the Air Canada plane was leaking fluid. It was determined that hydraulic fluid was leaking at the climb was stopped at 6,000 feet. After dumping fuel for over a half hour, the aircraft returned safely to Vancouver. The leak was caused by by a faulty o-ring in the right hand engine hydraulic pump. The pump was replaced.
On December 18, 2016, C-FNND was flying from Hong Kong to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Near Fort McMurray, Alberta, at about 39,000 feet, spilled fluid over the audio control panel causing electrical problems. Both transponders failed and one VHF radio remained functioning. The flight was continued to Toronto for a safe landing.
On February 26, 2017, the Boeing 777-200LR was again flying from Hong Kong to Toronto. Over the Pacific Ocean, 450 miles fro Sapporo, Japan, the crew received a ‘HYD QTY LOW L’ message and a ‘HYD PRESS PRI L’ message. The left side hydraulic system quantity had dropped to zero. The aircraft diverted to Tokyo, Japan and landing safely. It was found that the left side engine driven pump casing was cracked. The EDP, return case and drain pressure filters were replaced as a result.
