The pilot and the four passengers departed in the amphibious Grumman Goose aircraft from the Seal Cove floatplane base at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, for a 41 nautical mile (nm) flight to Kincolith. After take-off from the water, the aircraft crashed into trees on a hillside 3 nm south of Seal Cove. The pilot and one passenger were fatally injured, and the other three passengers received serious injuries.
The Board determined that the pilot encountered engine problems during the take-off and climb, and, after the left propeller was feathered, lost directional control of the aircraft. The aircraft rolled to the left, descended rapidly, and crashed to the ground.
