Aircraft Crash at Waskaganish Airport During Multiple Landing Attempts (C-GQSV)

Incident Overview During an approach to Waskaganish Airport, the flight crew encountered adverse weather conditions. Due to poor visibility, the captain initiated a go-around. In the following minutes, three additional landing attempts were abandoned. On the fifth attempt, the aircraft descended too low and crashed short of the runway 06 threshold. All three crew members were injured, and the aircraft was destroyed. The source does not specify the aircraft type, registration, date, operator, or exact cause beyond the low descent during the final approach in poor visibility conditions. ## Operational Context The incident involved repeated attempts to land under challenging weather conditions. The initial go-around was initiated by the captain due to poor visibility. Subsequent attempts were also abandoned, leading to a final approach where the aircraft descended below the safe altitude, resulting in a crash short of the runway threshold. The outcome was fatal to the aircraft's airframe, with all crew members sustaining injuries. ## Safety Considerations The event highlights the risks associated with multiple go-arounds and landing attempts in adverse weather. Poor visibility and the decision to continue with landing attempts despite challenging conditions contributed to the accident. The source does not provide further details on the specific cause or contributing factors beyond the low descent during the final approach.
