WestJet Encore flight WEN3394, a DHC-8-402Q, was climbing through 10 000 feet when the flight crew heard a bang, and observed a right DC generator light and abnormal torque indications from the right-hand engine. The crew actioned the quick reference handbook and shut down the number 2 engine (Pratt and Whitney Canada PW150A). ATC provided vectors for a return to CYEG. The aircraft conducted a single- engine approach and landed without further incident.
Emergency vehicles met the aircraft on the runway and the aircraft subsequently taxied to the gate under its own power.
Subsequent inspection from company maintenance revealed that the number 2 engine second stage Low Pressure Compressor (LPC2) had failed.
