A Chautauqua Airlines Canadair CRJ-200, flight RP-5507 from Boston,MA to Cleveland,OH (USA) with 55 passengers, was on approach to Cleveland, when one of the electrical busses suffered a power loss and smoke became visible. The crew continued for a safe landing and shut the airplane down on the runway, the passengers deplaned and were bussed to the terminal.
The airport reported, the runway had to be closed for 11 minutes after the airplane experienced an electrical power loss. Smoke could be seen when the airplane landed. The airplane was later towed to the gate.
The airplane's next scheduled flight RP-5604 to Baltimore had to be cancelled.
The FAA reported the following day, that the AC bus was lost causing the RAT (RAM Air Turbine) to deploy during the approach. The brakes locked on landing causing the main gear tyres to blow during the landing roll out. The registration of the airframe is still unknown.
