C-FPDN should be the last piece in the puzzle for our collection of Air Canada Airbus A320-200 aircraft. We photographed this A320 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on June 8, 2018. The Canadian airline will start phasing out this model in 2019.

C-FPDN
C-FPDN performed its first flight on June 4, 1992 and was delivered to Air Canada on September 16, 1992. Currently (as of September, 2018) one of 42 in the fleet, the Airbus A320-211 is configured for a maximum total of 146 passengers. There are 14 business class seats, along with 132 economy class seats.
After many years of trouble free service, C-FPDN ran into a glitch earlier this month. On September 5, 2018, the Airbus A320-200 was flying from Toronto, Ontario to Edmonton, Alberta. At 34,000 feet and over Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a ‘HYD G ENG 1 PUMP LO PR’ message was received by the crew. Later, a ‘HYD G RSVR LO LVL’ message was received. Despite the hydraulics issue, the airliner landed safely at YEG. As a result, the green hydraulic system accumulator was replaced.
