An Air Canada Rouge Airbus A319-100, registration C-GJVY performing flight RV-1804 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Montego Bay (Jamaica) with 136 passengers and 5 crew, was in the initial climb out of Toronto when the crew noticed the stand by attitude indicator showed erroneous bank and pitch angles. The crew consulted with maintenance but was unable to resolve the issue and subsequently decided to return to Toronto. Due to landing overweight the crew declared PAN. While descending through about FL120 towards Toronto the aircraft received a lightning strike prompting the crew to divert to Montreal,QC (Canada) and landed safely in Montreal.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance determined the standby attitude indicator was defective and replaced the ADI with a serviceable unit. Maintenance performed an overweight and a lightning strike inspection before returning the aircraft to service.
