The pilot took off from Boily Lake, Quebec, with one passenger on board for a local flight in accordance with visual flight rules. After the take-off, the pilot realized that the aircraft was too low to clear a hill on the climb-out trajectory. He then decided to initiate a steep right turn at low altitude in order to return to the lake for a landing. During the turn, the aircraft's nose pitched downward, and the aircraft descended and struck the ground. The pilot sustained serious injuries, and the passenger was fatally injured; the aircraft was destroyed in the post- crash fire.
The Board determined that the floatplane did not achieve the usual take-off and climb performance because it was overloaded; the aircraft's performance was also diminished due to drag caused by the folding canoe attached to the right float and, possibly, due to downdrafts. The floatplane stalled during a steep turn at an altitude insufficient for a recovery.
