A few moments later, a second fuel pressure alarm sounded for the right engine, prompting the pilots to divert to Winnipeg. The flight management computer indicated that there was still sufficient fuel for the flight but the initial fuel load had been measured in pounds instead of kilograms. The aircraft’s fuel gauges were inoperative because of an electronic fault which was indicated on the instrument panel and airplane logs (the pilots believed the flight was legal with this malfunction). Assuming a fuel pump had failed the pilots turned it off, since gravity should feed fuel to the aircraft’s two engines. The aircraft’s cockpit warning system sounded, indicating a fuel pressure problem on the aircraft’s left side. On July 23, 1983, flight 143 was cruising at 41,000 feet (12,000 m) over Red Lake, Ontario. First Officer Quintal, also very experienced, had logged over 7,000 hours of total flight time. Captain Pearson was a highly experienced pilot, having accumulated more than 15,000 flight hours. 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 at the controls. On July 22, 1983, Air Canada’s Boeing 767 (registration C-GAUN, c/n 22520/47) flew from Toronto to Edmonton where it underwent routine checks. The crew were able to glide the aircraft safely to an emergency landing at Gimli Industrial Park Airport, a former Royal Canadian Air Force base in Gimli, Manitoba.ġ- Fuel exhaustion due to maintenance error ![]() On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143, a Boeing 767-233 jet, ran out of fuel at an altitude of 41,000 feet (12,000 m) MSL, about halfway through its flight originating in Montreal to Edmonton.
