What happened
On May 22, 2008, at approximately 01:20 CST, a Boeing 737-217, registration C-GKCP, was performing flight MPE1714 from Fort MacKay, Canada, to Saskatoon, Canada. While on final approach to land on runway 15, the flight crew noticed vibrations coming from the right engine, a Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17A.
Shortly after the vibration was detected, the right engine stopped operating. The crew declared an emergency and successfully completed the landing on runway 15. Following the landing, the aircraft was shut down on the runway, where an engine fire had developed. Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) personnel arrived and extinguished the fire in the right engine. All passengers and crew deplaned via the aircraft's air stairs. There were no injuries among the 112 passengers and 5 crew members.
