A Westjet Boeing 737-8 MAX, registration C-FHCM performing flight WS-1681 from New York JFK,NY (USA) to Calgary,AB (Canada) with 165 passengers and 6 crew, departed JFK's runway 04L when during the takeoff roll the crew heard unusual noises from the nose gear. After becoming airborne and selecting the gear up an abnormal indication for the nose gear followed prompting the crew to level off at 7000 feet while troubleshooting the issue. The crew was able to resolve the indication and continued the flight to Calgary. Westjet Dispatch informed Calgary Airport about the nose gear issue about one hour prior to estimated landing. Descending towards Calgary the crew declared PAN PAN and advised they were planning to stop on the runway and needed to be towed to the apron. The aircraft landed safely on Calgary's runway 17L and was able to taxi to the apron on its own power.

The Canadian TSB reported, that "the nose landing gear pressure seals failed during the takeoff roll. Loss of pressure in the oleo kept the strut compressed and unable to center before retracting into the gear well. The seals were replaced and an SDR was submitted to Transport Canada. The aircraft was released for continued service."
