The Canadian Airlines Boeing 737 (CDN 688) departed Vancouver, British Columbia, at 2036 Pacific standard time and was climbing through flight level 310 when the crew felt a severe airframe vibration. There were no other abnormal indications. The crew decided to return to Vancouver, and, as the aircraft slowed down in the descent, the vibration stopped. Moderate vibration was again experienced during the approach, with flaps extended, but an uneventful, normal landing was carried out with the emergency response services on standby. An examination of the aircraft revealed that a two-foot section of the right elevator trim tab (part number 65-73799-14) was missing.
