What happened
A twin-engine airplane was operating a scheduled charter service originating from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, with an intended stop in Moncton, before proceeding to Le Havre-aux-Maisons. The flight was transporting a pilot and five engineers who were traveling to the Magdalen Islands to address technical issues regarding factory cooler insulation.
As the aircraft reached its destination and completed its touchdown, the plane became uncontrollable. The subsequent impact resulted in a significant post-crash fire that consumed the entire airframe. There were six fatalities among the occupants, as all six individuals on board perished in the accident.
Findings
The investigation noted that the aircraft was destroyed by fire following the loss of control during landing.
