The 767 was equipped with a “glass cockpit” and the pilots lost most of their instrumentation. As the gliding plane closed in on the decommissioned runway, the pilots noticed that there were two boys riding bicycles within 1,000 feet (300 m) of the projected point of impact. To add to his own misconceptions about the condition in which the aircraft had been flying since the previous day, reinforced by what he saw in the cockpit, Pearson now had a signed-off maintenance log that it had become custom to prefer over the MMEL. Articles. Logan Melgar, USMC Johnny Bobbitt, Capt. The engineer had encountered the same problem earlier in the month when this same aircraft had arrived from Toronto with an FQIS fault. Spontaneous hugs from strangers are not uncommon for local resident Bob Pearson, otherwise known as the Gimli Glider pilot who miraculously landed a 61-passenger Boeing 767 without fuel July 23, 1983 in Manitoba.One of those passengers is Elizabeth Sapena, who resides in Alexandria. This caused a loss of electrical and hydraulic power to the aircraft. They have reviewed the 11-page proposal sent to them by the director from Los Angeles, but are not certain on the release date.“I’m looking forward to it,” says Sapena, who drives a school bus in Alexandria. The airliner touched down on a closed runway that was being used as a race track.
This was approximately half the amount required to reach their destination.Because the FMC would reset during the stopover in Ottawa, the captain had the fuel tanks measured again with the Following Air Canada's internal investigation, Captain Pearson was demoted for six months, and First Officer Quintal was suspended for two weeks for allowing the incident to happen. Following a crew change, it departed Montreal as Flight 143 for the return trip to Edmonton (with a stopover in Ottawa), with Captain Robert (Bob) Pearson, 48, and First Officer Maurice Quintal, 36, at the controls. Captain Pearson would later remark that the boys were so close that he could see the looks of sheer terror on their faces as they realized that a commercial airliner was bearing down on them. To test the system he re-enabled the second channel, at which point the fuel gauges in the cockpit went blank. Parts of the metal fuselage were made into luggage tags and are offered for sale by a California company, In June 2017, a permanent museum exhibit of the event opened in Gimli.
As part of this process, the new 767s being acquired by Air Canada were the first to be calibrated for The ground crew, however, used the incorrect conversion factor of 1.77, the mass of a litre of fuel in pounds, and this error was not noticed by the flight crew. The flight to Montreal proceeded uneventfully with fuel gauges operating correctly on the single channel. The subsequent investigation revealed that a combination of company failures, human errors and confusion over unit measures had led to the aircraft being refuelled with insufficient fuel for the planned flight.On July 22, 1983, Air Canada's Boeing 767 (registration C-GAUN,On July 23, 1983, Flight 143 was cruising at 41,000 feet (12,000 m) over The aircraft's fuel gauges were inoperative because of an electronic fault indicated on the instrument panel and airplane logs; this fault was known before takeoff to the pilots, who took steps to work around it. At the time of the incident, Canada's aviation sector was in the process of converting to the metric system. He found then that disabling the second channel by pulling the A record of all actions and findings was made in the maintenance log, including the entry; "SERVICE CHK – FOUND FUEL QTY IND BLANK – FUEL QTY #2 C/B PULLED & TAGGED...".On the day of the incident, the aircraft flew from Edmonton to Montreal. In a further misunderstanding, Captain Pearson believed that he was also being told that the FQIS had been completely unserviceable since then. The Captain Bob Pearson (William Devane) and First Officer Maurice Quintal (Scott Hylands) must think of something fast before the plane and its 60 passengers fall from the sky.
