What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
In the climb, just shortly before leveling off at FL350, the fo noticed the smell of electrical fumes/smoke. Fo went through the qrh items and determined the rtu #2 failed and was the source. Captain decided to turn back to yvr.
The situation in the flight deck was stable enough to postpone actioning the emergency power and smoke removal procedure in the qrh. Plane ladned uneventfully. Crew went through shut down of the aircraft, and advised the fa to deplane rapidly. Everybody got off safe and quick, and complied with all instructions and left everything behind.
The fire crew went on the plane and later confirmed that they still saw smoke on the plane. No one was injured or got sick when we left. Crew further debriefed and discussed the event with the on call duty manager.
