Thanks. Is this a public mailing list?pelmet wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 8:06 pmThey come directly from the TSB five days a week. I'm a bit behind on my emails but just read this well-handled one.....
Air Canada Boeing 777-300 aircraft (AC872, C-FITU) was on climb out from Toronto /Lester B.
Pearson International (CYYZ), ON when the cabin crew reported an odour and smoke in the
forward cabin. The crew isolated the smoke coming from the In-Flight Entertainment System (IFE)
in seat 9D. The IFE was selected off and the smoke dissipated. There was no emergency declared
and the flight continued to Frankfurt (EDDF), Germany. Upon arrival, maintenance replaced the
screen in seat 9D IAW AMM. The unit was checked serviceable with no further smoke evident.
If the cabin crew reports to me a fire that was put out, before deciding to continue to the destination I want to personally inspect the site -- I'm not keen to accept a second-hand assessment if I'm to continue the flight. This one happened in the climb out and I'm not leaving my seat then.
