What happened
A single-engine aircraft, operating under a charter from a provider based in Crossroads Lake, was scheduled to transport two guides and four fishermen to Mistastin Lake, Labrador. The flight was originally intended to depart at 0700LT, but the departure was delayed until 1000LT because of low cloud ceilings.
Following the delayed departure, multiple attempts to establish communication with the pilot were unsuccessful throughout the day. This lack of contact prompted the search and rescue center in Trenton to initiate formal operations. After four days of searching, investigators located the site of the accident. During the recovery process, the remains of four individuals were found at the scene. However, the wreckage of the single-engine airplane was not located, and the bodies of the pilot and two passengers remain missing.
