What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Flin Flon Airport, an aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall. The plane subsequently impacted a nearby lake, where the wreckage submerged.
The incident involved a total of four people on board. The accident resulted in one fatality and left three others injured during the impact and subsequent sinking of the aircraft.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the engine ceased functioning during the ascent. This loss of power was triggered by a ruptured fuel line, which allowed fuel to escape the lines. As the leaking fuel came into contact with high-temperature components within the engine, it ignited, leading to the mechanical failure.
