Tony's Gimli Glider Presentation
Introduction
This is a presentation I gave at Groundschool on 29 October 1998. It's Flight 143 from Montreal to Edmonton via Ottawa. The accident occurred on July 23, 1983. Fuel pressure was lost at 41,000 feet, 120 miles from Winnipeg. Both engines quit at 35,000 feet 65 miles from Winnipeg and 45 miles from Gimli. They safely glided into the airport at Gimli. The aircraft/accident became known as the "Gimli Glider".
