Incident Overview
Shortly after takeoff from Mirabel Airport, while in initial climb, both engines stopped simultaneously. The pilot-in-command reduced altitude and completed a safe belly landing in a snow-covered field located near the airport. The airplane slid for several yards before coming to rest. All six occupants escaped uninjured, while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable Cause
Official investigation findings attributed the engine failures to icing of both compressors, which led to the simultaneous loss of power after takeoff.
Aftermath
Emergency services responded to the scene, and the occupants were evacuated without injury. The aircraft sustained substantial damage, rendering it a total loss.
