Narrative:An Airbus A319-100 aircraft AC715 operated by Air Canada was taking off from New York, LaGuardia (KLGA) NY to Toronto Lester B Pearson (CYYZ), ON, when the no. 4 wheel assembly separated from the landing gear. ATC informed the flight crew and the flight continued to CYYZ. On arrival at CYYZ the aircraft did a fly-by the tower which confirmed the no. 4 wheel was missing. The crew declared an emergency and the aircraft landed uneventfully with ARFF standing by. The aircraft stopped on the runway and damage was assessed before the aircraft moved to the operator's maintenance facility. All passengers were deplaned on the runway and transported by bus to the terminal. Photos taken of the landing gear showed that the outer bearing appears to have failed allowing the wheel assembly to slip out of the axle. The axle nut remained secure and safetied to axle. Subsequent reports from the FAA and NTSB stated the wheel had been found and retrieved fully inflated.
