Incident Overview
On an unspecified date, a De Havilland Otter aircraft registered C-FKLC was positioned on the frozen surface of Lagopede Lake, prepared for takeoff. At the same time, another De Havilland Otter, operated by Air Saguenay and registered C-FODT, was landing on the same lake. Upon touchdown, the pilot of C-FODT lost directional control of the aircraft, causing it to veer and collide with the stationary Otter C-FKLC.
Damage and Injuries
The collision resulted in significant damage to both aircraft. The Otter registered C-FODT sustained minor damage. In contrast, the Otter registered C-FKLC suffered catastrophic structural failure, with its right wing being torn off, rendering the aircraft damaged beyond repair. The pilot of C-FKLC, who was the sole occupant aboard that aircraft at the time, was uninjured.
Aircraft and Operational Context
Both aircraft were De Havilland Otter models, a utility aircraft commonly used in remote and northern operations. The incident occurred on Lagopede Lake, a body of water frozen at the time, providing a natural landing surface for ski-equipped aircraft. The exact date, time of day, weather conditions, and any involvement of air traffic control were not specified in the source.
Aftermath
No further details regarding the pilot of the landing aircraft, C-FODT, or the subsequent investigation have been provided. The source report concludes the factual sequence of events without assigning a probable cause or contributing factors.
