Accident
Shortly after takeoff from Toronto-Lester Bowles Pearson Airport, a twin-engine airplane was in its initial climb phase when it adopted an excessively nose-up attitude. The aircraft subsequently stalled and crashed, erupting into flames upon impact. The airplane was destroyed in the accident, and all three occupants on board were killed.
Investigation
Officials conducted an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident. The examination focused on the aircraft's loading and balance conditions prior to departure.
Probable Cause
The investigation determined that the aircraft was improperly loaded before takeoff, resulting in the center of gravity (CofG) being positioned beyond the rear limit. This condition was identified as the probable cause of the accident.
