Bombardier has grounded the CSeries flight test program while it investigates an engine failure that occurred May 29 on flight test aircraft FTV1 during ground testing.
While Bombardier has confirmed "an engine-related incident," Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) confirmed in a statement that "a Bombardier CS100 aircraft experienced an engine failure during ground testing." TSB has dispatched an investigator to Bombardier's facility in Mirabel, Quebec, where the engine failure occurred.
