December 1, 1993Accident
The two pilots were transporting Hydro-Québec employees in the aircraft to allow them to check electrical facilities in several villages along the Hudson Bay coast.

A contributing factor was the crew's decision to continue the visual approach into Umiujaq despite the weather conditions reported. Full accident record
