TSB Report #A22C0006: C-FDOD, a Bell Helicopter Textron 412 operated by Wisk Air Helicopters, was returning from a work site on a power line to the work camp at Kingfisher Lake, ON, with the pilot and 6 passengers on board. While enroute, the No. 1 "FUEL LOW" (quantity) caution annunciator illuminated. The pilot commenced a precautionary landing and planned for a possible single engine landing. During the descent, at approximately 200 feet above ground level, the No. 1 engine (Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6T-3B) lost power, accompanied by illumination of the associated caution/warning annunciators. While on short final, the No. 2 engine began to fluctuate and then lost power. A successful auto-rotative landing was conducted onto the frozen, snow covered surface of Kingfisher Lake with both engines inoperative. There were no injuries and the helicopter was undamaged. The helicopter was refueled the next day and flown to the Kingfisher Lake camp. After further inspection, the helicopter was ferried to the operators maintenance base under a flight permit. The operators maintenance personnel subsequently discovered several discrepancies. Loose B nuts in the No.1 fuel tank prevented the ejector pump from transferring fuel aft, over the baffle, to the boost pump side of the fuel tank. The examination also determined that the No. 2 engine was starved for fuel due to leaking flapper valve plates that, in a normal flight attitude, allowed fuel to move forward, through the baffle, at a rate that exceeded the recapture capacity of the ejector pump. The effect of these discrepancies was to trap unusable fuel forward of the baffle in each fuel tank. Further discrepancies were noted such as a damaged No. 2 low level float switch and inaccurate fuel quantity indication systems. The operator is conducting checks on the remaining aircraft in the fleet.

During landing, a privately registered Piper PA-46-600TP, on a flight to Stratford, ON (CYSA), went off the end of Runway 17 at CYSA, causing damage to the aircraft.
UPDATE: Aviation Incident Report #17507: A privately registered Piper PA-46-600TP on a flight to Stratford, ON (CYSA) was landing on Runway 17. It appeared that the directional control was lost and the aircraft exited the runway to the right-side. The aircraft struck an abbreviated precision approach path indicator (APAPI) light box and continued travelling across the graded area, and came to rest perpendicular to the runway edge. Weather conditions were VFR, with winds from the south and less than 8 knots. The runway was 95% bare and dry. Runways were closed for several hours.
UPDATE: TSB Report #A22O0013: A privately registered Piper PA-46-600TP was on a visual flight rules flight from Kitchener/Waterloo, ON (CYKF) to the Stratford, ON (CYSA) with the pilot as sole occupant. During the landing roll on Runway 17, the pilot felt the aircraft swerving and attempted a correction before deciding to reject the landing. After they added power for the go-around, the right main wheel entered the snowbank beside the runway, causing the aircraft to exit the runway surface into an area of undisturbed snow. The aircraft collided with some airport signage before the nose wheel sheared off. The aircraft came to a stop upright in a snow covered area beside the runway. The pilot exited the aircraft uninjured, the aircraft had been damaged significantly. The propeller was destroyed, and there was damage to the wing, cowling, and engine mounts. The ELT was activated during the runway excursion.

The flight service station (FSS) advised the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) unit and the airport manager (APM). KEW401+ landed safely at 0110Z and taxied off the runway under its own power. ARFF and APM advised. No impact on operations.

Alerting was lost for a Harvs Air Service Ltd. Cessna 152 (C-GFJV) from Steinbach (South), MB (CKK7) to Steinbach (South), MB (CKK7) as a result of a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan being closed prematurely at Winnipeg/St. Andrews, MB (CYAV).

At Little Grand Rapids, MB (CZGR), Runway 18/36 was closed due to a disabled aircraft.
Aviation Incident Report: Around 14h45 Central Daylight Time (CDT) on July 4th, 2022, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) unit was advised by Little Grand Rapids, MB (CZGR) Airport Manager of an incident involving a Cessna veering off the main runway. According to a pilot who was in the Airport terminal at the time and witnessed the incident, a Lakeside Aviation Cessna 172M (C-GHXS) “flared” too long while landing and touched down after the main taxiway. After landing, the plane veered on the right side (south) of the runway. It appears the plane briefly lost ground contact on its right side wheel, resulting in the left wing touching the ground and sustaining damage. The plane then went into the ditch, which is covered in vegetation. From inspection, it appears the propeller touched the ground and sustained damage. Airport staff immediately attended to the plane and removed the pilot and passenger. The passenger complained of soreness to the leg and was transported for medical treatment. Upon follow up, the passenger has soreness but no further injuries. The pilot declined medical treatment. A statement from the pilot was obtained. The pilot could not explain what went wrong, stated the plane veered after landing at normal speed and with normal brake application. It was initially suspect that the plane may have blown a tire after landing, however, the plane was pulled out of the ditch and the tires appeared to be fine. It is suspected that the brake system may have been faulty. There was no smoke or fire after the crash.

The arrival controller noticed the deviation and turned SNBD5 northbound back towards the STAR. At this point, SNBD5 descended out of 10,000 feet to 9,300 feet as a WestJet Boeing 737-700 (WJA461) from Calgary, AB (CYYC) to Kelowna, BC (CYLW) was close by, direct BOTAG, at 9,000 feet. The arrival controller climbed SNBD5 back to 10,000 feet and turned the aircraft to a heading of 070.
