The aircraft took off from runway 15 of Charlevoix Airport, Quebec, on a flight to Trois-Rivières, Quebec, with the pilot and five passengers on board. Shortly after take-off, witnesses saw greyish smoke emanating from the left engine. The aircraft turned left, continued on its heading momentarily, then banked left and nosed down. The aircraft crashed on the ground and was destroyed by the impact and post-crash fire. The six occupants died instantly.
The Board determined that it is probable that a loss of oil pressure in the left engine caused a loss of power just after take-off. The pilot was unable to maintain the minimum control speed (VMC) of the aircraft.
