An Air Canada Airbus A320-200, registration C-FKPT performing flight
AC-234 from Vancouver,BC to Edmonton,AB (Canada) with 80 people on board, was on approach to Edmonton descending through 4000 feet when the crew received a "SLAT FAULT" ECAM message and aborted the approach. The aircraft climbed to 6000 feet while the crew was working the checklists but could not solve the problem. ATC was advised of the abnormal landing configuration and the aircraft landed safely about 35 minutes after aborting the first approach.
The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the right hand slat actuator #3 type B and returned the aircraft to service after successful tests..
