An Air Canada Boeing 767-300, registration C-FMWP performing flight AC-838 from Ottawa,ON (Canada) to Frankfurt/Main (Germany), was climbing out of Ottawa when the crew requested to stop the climb at 7,000 feet due to a configuration warning indication. While maintaining 7000 feet the aircraft continued enroute towards Frankfurt, the crew subsequently requested to divert to Montreal,QC (Canada) and while not declaring emergency or requesting priority the crew requested emergency services on standby due to an overweight landing. The aircraft landed safely on Montreal's runway 24R about one hour after departure from Ottawa.

The Canadian TSB reported a thrust management computer was replaced.

A replacement Boeing 767-300 registration C-GHOZ reached Frankfurt with a delay of 6 hours.
