What happened
During a flight departing from Seven Islands Airport toward Fort Chimo (Kuujjacc), the aircraft experienced simultaneous mechanical issues with both engines. Shortly after leaving the runway, the plane entered a stall and descended into Wabash Lake, which is located in the vicinity of the airport.
The accident resulted in one fatality among the passengers. Additionally, the remaining three occupants on board sustained serious injuries during the impact.
Findings
Investigations into the crash identified that both engines suffered a failure or malfunction following takeoff. This occurred while the aircraft was operating within icing conditions. A significant contributing factor was the crew's failure to engage the necessary anti-icing or de-icing equipment during the flight.
