Air Canada flight AC8402, a DHC-8-400, suffered a brief runway excursion during lineup on runway 30 at Grande Prairie Airport (CYQU).
As the aircraft taxied into position on the runway for takeoff, the flight crew noted that the aircraft was lined up to the left of the runway centerline. As the flight crew maneuvered the aircraft back to the centerline, they advised FSS that they would turn around and return to the threshold, to line up again. While backtracking, the crew saw the aircraft tire tracks in the snow showing that they had taxied onto the side of the runway, departing the runway surface. The flight crew did not observe that the aircraft had collided with any ground objects. Once the aircraft was lined up on the runway centerline, the aircraft departed uneventfully. During the initial climb, the flight crew advised FSS that the aircraft taxied off the runway surface prior to repositioning. FSS dispatched airport operations to inspect the runway and the inspection revealed that a runway edge light had been struck by the aircraft; FSS notified the flight crew. The aircraft continued to CYYC without issue. During approach to CYYC, the flight crew declared a PAN PAN in case of potential tire damage. The flight landed safely and taxied to the gate without issue; there were no injuries.
Company maintenance inspected the tires and landing gear and found no issues.
