A Jazz Canadair CRJ-200, registration C-FIJA performing flight QK-8861 from Gander,NL to Halifax,NS (Canada) with 48 people on board, had just levelled off in cruise flight at FL280 when the crew received multiple landing gear, flaps, hydraulic systems and brakes EICAS messages including a FLAPS DEGRADED message. The altitude indications on both primary flight displays began to oscillate down and up, the speed cues became unreliable and the flaps position indication fluctated between 0 and 30 degrees. The flight crew disengaged the autopilot and the altitude deviations ceased. The crew requested a lower altitude, declared emergency reported speed control and navigation equipment issues and decided to divert to Sydney,NS (Canada) where the aircraft landed safely.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced a faulty flaps position transmitter and returned the aircraft to service following additional operational checks.
