The AS 350B2 helicopter, was on a visual flight rules flight from a private field at Mirabel, QC to Launey, QC. The helicopter took off at 09:57 and headed northbound with a pilot and 2 passengers on board. It landed at Mont Laurier Airport, QC (CSD4) to refuel. Once refuelled, the pilot took off and continued along the continued north along Highway 117. As the weather conditions in the area north of Mont-Laurier were not favourable, the pilot landed at Le Domaine - Sépaq in the La Vérendrye wildlife reserve. The helicopter took off again heading north less than an hour later.
