| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft departed Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan, on a chartered night flight to La Ronge. Shortly after take-off, the aircraft struck trees and crashed on the rocky shoreline of the Churchill River. All four occupants of the aircraft were fatally injured.
The Board determined that the pilot established, and the aircraft remained in, a very shallow climb after take-off and struck trees during the initial departure, while in controlled flight prior to reaching cruise climb speed.
Other factors that may have contributed to the accident were the poor ground and sky illumination, the absence of illumination from the landing lights, and the deviation from the recommended night departure profile.
