A Keystone Air Service Ltd. Flight KEE208, a Piper PA-31-350 Chieftain, registration C-GPOW, serial number 31-7305093, was on an instrument flight rules flight from Gunisao Lake, Manitoba, to Winnipeg. One pilot and six passengers were on board. At 09:13 CDT (Central Daylight Time), KEE208 began an instrument landing system approach to Runway 13 at Winnipeg International Airport. The captain flew the approach at a higher-than-normal approach airspeed and well above the glide path. When the aircraft broke out of the cloud layer, it was not in position to land safely on the remaining runway. The captain executed a missed approach at 09:16 CDT and, after switching to the approach frequency from tower frequency, requested an expedited return to the airport.
The approach controller issued instructions for a turn back to the airport. Almost immediately, at 0918, the captain declared a MAYDAY for an engine failure. Less than 20 seconds later the captain transmitted that the aircraft had experienced a double engine failure. The aircraft crashed at a major traffic intersection at 09:20 CDT, striking traffic signals and several vehicles. All seven of the aircraft passengers and several of the vehicle occupants were seriously injured; one passenger subsequently died of his injuries.
The aircraft experienced extensive structural damage, with the wings and engines tearing off along the wreckage trail. There was a small post-crash fire in the right wing and engine area
