What happened
During an ascent following departure from Jamie Lake, located in the vicinity of Watson Lake, an aircraft experienced a critical impact with vegetation. While the plane was in its climbing phase, the left wing made contact with a tree. This collision resulted in a sudden loss of altitude, causing the aircraft to overturn before ultimately crashing.
As a result of the accident, there was one fatality involving the pilot. The passenger, who was the pilot's son, sustained injuries during the impact.
Findings
- The primary factor in the loss of control was the left wing striking a tree during the climb.
