Occurrence
On 28 September 2014, a de Havilland DHC-6-300 Twin Otter aircraft, registration C-GKSN and serial number 493, operated by Air Labrador Limited, was conducting a charter flight from Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon, Quebec, to La Tabatière, Quebec. The aircraft carried 2 crew members and 17 passengers.
Sequence of Events
The aircraft touched down approximately 750 feet beyond the threshold of Runway 23 at La Tabatière. During the landing rollout, the captain assessed that the aircraft would not stop before reaching the end of the runway and therefore initiated a high-speed left turn onto the adjacent taxiway. While executing this turn, the aircraft skidded to the right. The right propeller subsequently struck a runway identification sign before the aircraft came to a stop.
Aftermath
The aircraft sustained substantial damage. No injuries were reported among the occupants, and no fire occurred. The 406-megahertz emergency locator transmitter did not activate. The accident occurred at 1512 Atlantic Standard Time in daylight conditions.
