C-GVIJ Incidents
In December, 2016, this Boeing 767-300ER had a string of nagging problems with the flaps. It started on December 15, on a flight from Hamilton, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia. On final approach to YVR, crew experienced a flaps issue and went around. The aircraft landed safely on the second attempt. As a result, the #3 flap position transmitter and left flap / stabilizer position module were replaced.
Fast forward two weeks. On a December 28, 2016 flight from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Cologne, Germany, crew received a trailing edge flap disagree indication. The airplane went around and landed safely on the second attempt. This time, the #7 transmission was replaced.
The following day, December 29, 2016, on the return from Cologne to Hamilton, Ontario, flaps problems once again marred the landing. On approach to YHM, a TE FLAPS DISAGREE message was received. The aircraft landed safely. Again, the #7 transmission was at fault and was replaced.
