Beechcraft 100 King Air
Findings as to causes and contributing factors: 1. During the extension of the landing gear, a wire bundle became entangled around the landing-gear rotating torque shaft, preventing full extension of the landing gear. 2. The entanglement by the wire bundle also prevented the alternate landing-gear extension system from working. Full accident record
September 16, 1981AccidentHull loss
The single engine airplane was completing a forest fire survey flight from Lac-à-l’Eau-Claire to Poste-de-la-Baleine (Kuujjuarapik). While flying at low height, the right float struck tree tops. The pilot apparently attempted to make a corrective manoeuvre when the airplane banked left then descended into trees and crashed, bursting into flames.
De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver · 2 fatalities
The exact cause of the accident could not be determined as the aircraft was totally destroyed. However, an examination of the propeller blades revealed that the engine was running at high rpm at the time of impact. Also, it was reported that the ELT failed to function because of a depleted battery pack which was two years past its expiry date. Full accident record
