On May 6, 1991, a Grumman G-21A Goose (registration C-GHAV) operated by Oakley Air was involved in an aviation accident near Squamish, Canada during landing or approach. 2 people were killed. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A).
A seaplane crashed onto a railway road while approaching Squamish Airport, resulting in the deaths of both pilots on board.
What happened
The incident occurred during the final stages of flight as the aircraft was attempting to land at Squamish Airport. While the specific mechanical or environmental triggers remain unverified, the seaplane deviated from its intended water landing path and impacted a railway road situated near the airport vicinity. The collision resulted in the immediate destruction of the aircraft.
Findings
The primary outcome of this event was the loss of both pilots aboard the aircraft. The crash site was identified as a terrestrial roadway rather than the designated water aerodrome, indicating a significant deviation from the planned approach profile.
