Safety record

Accident & incident history

2017-01-23 Incident · Baltimore, MD NTSB · ENG17IA008
Reported aircraft: Bombardier CL 600 2B19
Probable cause: A Bombardier CRJ200 No. 2 engine failure due to the separation of a fan blade airfoil at a low cycle fatigue crack that originated at the forward fan blade pin hole attachment. The separated fan blade had previously undergone a hot form repair and both metallurgical analysis and repair records indicated that the lance/shot peen step required to restore sufficient residual stress levels to the blade material was not completed.
