An Air Canada Boeing 787-9, registration C-FGDZ performing flight AC-874 (dep Jan 16th) from Montreal,QC (Canada) to Frankfurt/Main (Germany) with 86 people on board, was on approach to Frankfurt when the crew received a "SLAT DRIVE" EICAS message. The crew worked the related checklists, declared PAN PAN and continued for a safe landing on Frankfurt's runway 25C.

Canada's TSB reported maintenance found the right hand slats #8 to #12 not extended and slats #1 to #7 partially extended. "Further inspection found torque tube disconnected at #8 slat."
