Safety history

  • September 2, 1986AccidentHull loss

    Few minutes after takeoff from Pickle Lake, while in cruising altitude, the pilot hear a loud bang. The engine lost power then caught fire and failed. Unable to reach the nearest airport, the pilot attempted an emergency landing when the aircraft crashed in a swampy scrub, bursting into flames. Both occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was destroyed. Probable cause (official findings): The engine reduction gear assembly had failed as the result of lack of lubrication.
