On May 22, 2008, about 0120 central standard time, a Boeing 737-217, Canadian registration C-GKCP, operated by Canadian North, as flight MPE1714 from Fort MacKay, Canada, to Saskatoon, Canada, was on final approach to land on runway 15 at Saskatoon, Canada, when the flight crew observed evidence of a vibration associated with the right engine (Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17A). Shortly thereafter, the right engine ceased operating. The crew declared an emergency, and affected an otherwise uneventful landing on runway 15. The aircraft was shutdown on the runway, and a fire which had ensued in the right engine, was extinguished by ARFF. The crew and passengers deplaned using the aircraft air stairs. Of the 112 passengers and 5 flight crew members, there were no injuries. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada is investigating, and as the state of design/manufacture of the aircraft and engines, the NTSB has designated a U.S. Accredited representative to assist the TSB with their investigation. The Federal Aviation Administration and Pratt & Whitney are serving as Technical Advisors to the U.S. Accredited Representative. All inquiries for information on this investigation should be directed to: Transportation Safety Board of Canada 200 Promenade du Portage Place du Centre, 4th Floor Hull, Quebec K1A 1K8 Canada E-mail: airops@tsb.gc.ca Website: http://www.tsb.gc.ca
