Cessna 550 Citation, being operated by the Government of Canada, Department Of Transport as TGO858, was conducting a flight from Halifax/Stanfield International Airport (CYHZ), NS to Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (CYOW), ON. After departure, the crew felt a momentary high frequency vibration while climbing through 5000 feet and requested to stop the climb at 6000 feet. The flight crew noted that the vibration seemed to stop with no abnormal cockpit indications and requested to resume their climb. Shortly after, the crew noted that the vibration resumed and seemed be associated with left engine when N1 was near 90%. The crew again
requested to stop the climb at 12,000 feet and requested a diversion to Moncton/Roméo Leblanc Intl (CYQM), NB. As they leveled off and set course for CYQM, the vibration became continuous.
The crew then declared a PAN PAN and requested to return to CYHZ. The vibration was steady at all power settings with no other abnormal indications. While on the approach, the vibration disappeared with the lower power setting being used. The aircraft landed safely at 1635 UTC with aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) standing by and taxied to the ramp.
Maintenance troubleshooting indicated a left engine generator failure. The generator was replaced.
