Operational pause of CT-114 Tutor fleet lifted
2022.09.21: Winnipeg – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces

Major-General Iain Huddleston, Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division and the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) Operational Airworthiness Authority, has lifted the operational pause on the CT-114 Tutor fleet effective September 20.

The initial From the Investigator report from DFS has been released and confirmed that the engine failure was due to an improperly assembled oil filter. The investigation is now analyzing the human factors that may have contributed to this occurrence.

The team will resume flying at their home base of 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Sask. this week. Next week, the Snowbirds’ CT-114 aircraft currently in Penticton and Fort St John, B.C. will begin returning to 15 Wing.
