What happened
Shortly after departing from Rankin Inlet, the crew of the aircraft encountered mechanical issues during the initial stages of flight. In response to these technical complications, the crew initiated an emergency descent to attempt a landing.
The aircraft subsequently crash landed along the Hudson Bay coastline, situated approximately 33 km south of Rankin Inlet. Despite the impact, all three crew members were successfully rescued from the site. The aircraft, which sustained damage beyond repair, was located in the coastal region.
Findings
- The incident was precipitated by technical problems encountered during the flight phase following takeoff.
