A Jazz Canadair CRJ-900, registration C-GJAZ performing flight QK-8521 from New York La Guardia,NY (USA) to Toronto,ON (Canada) with 80 people on board, was climbing out of La Guardia's runway 31 when the crew selected the gear up but received a gear disagree message. The crew stopped the climb at 9000 feet and returned to La Guardia for a safe landing on runway 04 about 50 minutes after departure.
The Canadian TSB stated: "It was discovered upon inspection that nose gear safety pins were left on."
The aircraft remained on the ground for about 2 hours, then departed again and reached Toronto with a total delay of about 4 hours (one hour delay before first departure included).
