TSB Report #A21Q0015: A privately registered Grumman (American Aviation) AA-5 was on a local visual flight rules flight from the St-Jean Chrysostome, QC (CSG5) aerodrome. The aircraft made an approach to land. Shortly before reaching the runway threshold, the aircrafts speed dropped and the aircraft stalled. The left wing touched down first and the aircraft came to rest beside the runway. The pilot, the only occupant on board, was not injured. The aircraft sustained significant damage.

A White Bear Industries Ltd. Robinson R44 II (C-FWBL) on a flight from Terrace, BC (CYXT) informed the CYXT flight service station (FSS) that it had conducted an emergency landing due to an aircraft issue. The aircraft was damaged upon landing. A helicopter was sent to pick up the pilot and passenger. No impact on operations.
UPDATE: TSB Report #A21P0046: C-FWBL, a privately operated Robinson R44 II operated by White Bear Industries Ltd., was enroute from Lakelse Lake, BC, to Fort Nelson, BC (CYYE) with one passenger on board when the pilot received a low main rotor RPM warning horn and light, with both engine and main rotor tachometer needles decreasing. The pilot performed a forced landing on a mountain logging road approximately 15 NM NE of Terrace, BC (CYXT). The pilot noticed while in the auto-rotation descent that the reciprocating engine RPM was fluctuating (Lycoming IO-540-AE1A5, 6 cylinder, fuel injected). During the flare to touch down, with collective and aft cyclic application to arrest the descent and forward motion, the helicopter skidded forward for about 15 feet on the gravel road. The helicopter remained upright on its skids, and both the pilot and passenger exited with no injury. The helicopter suffered substantial damage when the main rotor struck the tail boom during touchdown. The tail boom remained only partially attached to the rest of the structure by the internal driveshaft assembly connected to the tail rotor gearbox. Maintenance was contracted to inspect the helicopter drivetrain and initially could not find or replicate any defect that would suggest a mechanical malfunction or explain the low main rotor RPM reported by the pilot.

At 1522Z, the Campbell River flight service station (FSS) advised that, at 1445Z, a CBE Construction Ltd. de Havilland DHC-2 MK. III (C-FOES) from Port Hardy, BC (CYZT) to Campbell River, BC (CYBL) crashed into the water, approximately 20NM north of CYBL, under unknown circumstances. No operational impact.
UPDATE: TSB Report #A21P0042: C-FOES, a de Havilland DHC-2T MK 111 "Turbo Beaver" float plane, operated by Air Cab of Port Hardy, BC, was conducting a visual flight rules flight from Port Hardy Water Aerodrome, BC (CAW5) to Campbell River Water Aerodrome, BC (CAE3). The final approach was into the sun and, when approximately 1NM from CAE3, a propeller issue developed. As the pilot was addressing the propeller issue, the airspeed was decreasing. When the aircraft was at a height of about 20 feet above the water, the stall warning system activated. Though the pilot attempted to recover from the stall, the aircraft impacted the water. An aluminium front float strut fitting broke and the propeller struck the water as the aircraft came to rest nose down in the water. There was no post impact fire and the ELT did not activate. The pilot, the sole occupant, sustained no injuries and was rescued by the Coast Guard, who towed the aircraft to a nearby maintenance facility.

UPDATE: TSB Report #A21P0018: C-GNYI, a Bell 212 operated by Airspan Helicopters Ltd., was travelling from Sechelt, BC (CAP3) to Cypress Mountain Provincial Park, located in West Vancouver, BC, to support a BC Hydro project, with 2 pilots on board. During the flight, the aircraft experienced a sudden and dramatic right roll and nose down pitch. Both pilots attempted to regain control. After regaining control, the pilots observed warning lights indicating a hydraulic and an engine failure (Pratt & Whitney PT6T-3B). A location on nearby Bowen Island was selected for an emergency landing, however, the aircraft was still difficult to control and the crew was unable to manoeuvre it to the desired location. During the descent, the aircraft began an uncommanded rotation to the right, leading to a loss of control. The aircraft collided with trees and came to rest on a rocky ridge, approximately 270 feet ASL on the Northwest (NW) corner of Bowen Island. Both occupants received minor injuries. The helicopter sustained substantial damage. There was no post impact fire and the ELT functioned as designed.

A North Cariboo Flying Service Ltd. Beech 200 (NCB3507) from Fort St. John, BC (CYXJ) to Fort Nelson, BC (CYYE), on the approach for Runway 04, initiated a go-around due to a landing gear indication light. The Edmonton centre was advised. NCB3507 landed without incident on Runway 04 at 1626Z. No emergency declared. No other impact to operations.
UPDATE from Airworthiness: A Civil Aviation Safety Inspector (CASI) looked into this occurrence. The operator reported that when the crew extended the landing gear, the left main did not initially indicate green. While doing checks, the indicator light eventually illuminated and the issue did not reoccur for the rest of the day. When the aircraft returned to CYXJ, company maintenance inspected the aircraft. The "landing gear down" switches and wiring were checked, the cockpit lights were checked and a gear swing was performed. The left gear "down and locked" switch appeared to be weak, and the switch assembly was replaced. The landing gear function was tested and checked serviceable, and the aircraft was returned to service. No further action.

The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Trenton advised of a light float plane accident north of Orillia, ON. The aircraft involved was identified as a privately registered, amateur-built Bushcaddy R80.
UPDATE: TSB Report #A21O0072: A privately registered Bushcaddy R80 float plane was conducting local flights from the Orillia/Lake St John Seaplane Base, ON (CNV6). After landing in a sheltered bay, the pilot taxied the aircraft into the main part of the lake to conduct a takeoff into the wind. After applying power, and with the aircraft on the step, the pilot raised the right float, a technique used to facilitate a shorter takeoff run. As the right float came out of the water, the pilot lost directional control and the aircraft turned abruptly to the left, where the left wing struck the water as the pilot brought the throttle to idle. As the aircraft returned to a level attitude, the right float impacted the water and became detached from the aircraft. The pilot and passenger egressed from the left side of the aircraft and entered the water. They were rescued a short time later by nearby boaters. There were no injuries. The aircraft came to rest upside down in the water and was eventually towed to shore.

During the approach to CEZ4, the flight crew selected "landing gear down" and the RH main landing gear only partially extended. The nose and LH main landing gear extended fully. A low pass was performed over CEZ4, where company personnel were able to confirm that the RH main landing gear was not fully extended. The flight crew actioned the QRC "Landing Gear Manual Extension", but the RH main landing gear failed to extend. Several acceleration manoeuvers were performed; however, the landing gear did not move. Company operations was consulted, and a decision was made to conduct a wheels-up landing in CYOJ before dark. The aircraft then diverted to CYOJ. The flight crew advised the CYOJ FSS and declared an emergency, and emergency services were dispatched from the town of High Level. When the aircraft arrived over CYOJ, the flight crew selected "gear up" and the landing gear retracted normally. All 3 gear retracted, and the red "gear unsafe" light went out. The flight crew attempted to extend the landing gear again, but the RH main landing gear did not move. The landing gear was selected up and the landing gear, once again, retracted normally. The flight crew prepared for a gear-up landing. On short final, the flight crew shut down the engines and feathered the propellers. The aircraft touched down at approximately the 1000 foot mark and maintained the runway centerline. After the aircraft came to rest, the passengers and flight crew evacuated out the main cabin door; there were no egress issues. Emergency services arrived as soon as the aircraft came to a rest. There was no fire, there were no injuries and there was no fuel leak. Company maintenance will follow-up with TSB regarding maintenance findings and follow-up.
UPDATE: Aviation Incident Report #16957: At 0009Z, maintenance crews and a Can-West Corporate Air Charters Ltd. Beech B200GT (C-GLUT/CWA925) from Grande Prairie, AB (CYQU) to High Level, AB (CYOJ), with an enroute stop at Fort Vermillion, AB (CEZ4), contacted the NAV CANADA flight service station (FSS) to advise that the aircraft would be declaring an emergency. One of the aircrafts landing gears was failing to drop, forcing them to make the decision to conduct a belly landing. The NAV CANADA FSS contacted emergency crews at 0011Z. Airport staff and the Airport Manager were notified at 0015Z. The Airport Authority and emergency personnel (fire, Royal Canadian Mounted Police [RCMP], and emergency medical technicians [EMT]) arrived on scene and were in place at the staging area at 0032Z. Communications between emergency services was conducted. The Airport Manager called the FSS to advise them that all personnel were on site and standing by at 0038Z.

Crews were escorted by Airport Authority at 0045Z as per the on-scene controller (fire). No reported injuries, fuel spill or fire.

A Provincial Aerospace Beech 200 (C-GEHS/SPR810) on a MEDEVAC flight from Halifax/Stanfield, NS (CYHZ) to Sydney/J.A. Douglas McCurdy, NS (CYQY) conducted a missed approach in CYQY at 1721Z, following a landing gear indication. The crew elected to return to CYHZ and deal with the situation enroute. An emergency was declared, the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) unit was advised, and an aircraft inspection fly-by of the Halifax tower was conducted at 1828Z, followed by a landing on Runway 14. The right main landing gear collapsed as the nose wheel touched down, and the aircraft came to rest on Runway 14, between the intersection of Runway 05/23 and Taxiway Mike.

TSB Report #A20Q0104: C-GCQJ, a privately operated Cessna 150F, was on a local visual flight rules flight from Joliette, QC (CSG3) with a pilot on board. While the aircraft was on approach for a landing, the engine stalled and the pilot executed a forced landing in the aircraft parking lot, located north of Runway 15. Upon contact with the ground, the nose wheel buckled. There were no injuries, and the aircraft sustained damage to the nose wheel, gear assembly, lower engine cowling, and exhaust pipes. Inspection of the fuel tanks after landing revealed that the fuel tanks were empty.
UPDATED: Aviation Incident Report #16880: Around 1300Z, a Cessna 150F, operated by 9771956 Canada inc. (C-GCQJ), from Joliette, QC (CSG3) to Joliette, QC (CSG3) began its flight and planned to fly approximately 4 hours during the day, on 20 US gallons of fuel. While the last flight leg was being carried out, with one passenger on board, during the final phase of landing, the engine stopped working when the aircraft attempted to apply a bit more power in order to reach the threshold. Restart manoeuvres were attempted, without success. The aircraft was able to glide over electrical wires at the side of the road without snagging them, and the person flying then effected a forced landing in the aircraft parking lot, located approximately 400ft before the threshold of Runway 15. The aircraft came to rest at the south end of the asphalt strip of the parking lot, in the gravel, without causing any damage to its surroundings. At the end of the landing course, the nose wheel collapsed. The aircraft thus ended up partially on its nose, but did not overturn. The two occupants are unharmed. The distress beacon did not activate upon impact. Once the occupants were evacuated and taken care of, the aircraft was secured and then moved to a hangar. Subsequent study of the flight data showed that, theoretically, the aircraft would normally have consumed between 14.8 and 19 US gallons. Examination of the aircraft and measurement of the amount of gasoline remaining in the tanks, carried out on November 3, 2020, revealed that 2 US gallons remained in the right wing tank, and less than half an American gallon in the left wing tank. The cause of the engine failure was fuel exhaustion, resulting from an error in the management/planning of fuel consumption.

While a 9359-0784 Quebec Inc. Cirrus SR22 (C-GXHW), from Rocher-Percé (Pabok), QC (CTG3) at Quebec/Neuville, QC (CNV9) was attempting to conduct a go-around for Runway 06 at CNV9, the aircraft crashed on the north side of Runway 06. Three people on board (SOB), no injuries. Emergency services were deployed. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Trenton, the National Operations Centre (NOC) and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) have been notified.

The aircraft made an approach for landing on Runway 06. Following touchdown, the aircraft rebounded and the pilot experienced instability in the aircraft. Deeming it best to take-off again, the pilot performed a go-around. Following the go-around, the aircraft deviated to the left and banked to the right, despite the maximum deflection of the right rudder. The right wing touched the ground and the aircraft came to rest in the ditch on the north side of the runway. The occupants, who were not injured, were able to extricate themselves from the aircraft. A fuel leak occurred following a fractured fuel tank, but no fire occurred. The emergency locator transmitter activated on impact and transmitted the distress signal. Firefighters were deployed to the scene of the accident.

During the excursion, the aircraft collided with two aerodrome signs, one per wing, and the aircraft sustained damage to the wing leading edges and the right flap. The aircraft was able to taxi to the apron under its own power; there were no injuries. The aircraft is being inspected by maintenance to confirm the extent of the damage.

A Canadian Flight Centre Inc. Cessna 172P (C-FNJB) from Pitt Meadows, BC (CYPK) to Pitt Meadows, BC (CYPK) was flying circuits. While conducting a touch-and-go on Runway 36, the aircraft went off the end of the runway.
UPDATE: TSB Report #A20P0101: C-FNJB, a Cessna 172P operated by Canadian Flight Centre, was conducting circuit training at Pitt Meadows, BC (CYPK), with 1 instructor and 1 student on board. The exercise being conducted prior to the occurrence was practice forced landings. The aircrafts profile on final was higher than the anticipated flight path and the aircraft touched farther down the runway than was desired. On touchdown, the instructor took control of the aircraft and applied the brakes, but unlike the previous landing on the wet runway, the braking action was poor. The pilot-in-command (PIC) determined that conditions did not permit a go-around. The aircraft overran the end of the runway, traversed a 250 foot grass field, crossed a ditch, and came to rest in a field approximately 300 feet beyond the runway threshold. The pilot shut down the aircraft and evacuated with the student. There were no injuries, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage to its propeller, engine cowling, windshield, lower fuselage, and landing gear. Maintenance crews recovered the aircraft and an aircraft maintenance organization will assess the extent of the damage.

TSB Report #A20P0085: C-FYHA, an Aerospatiale AS 350 B2 aircraft operated by Yellowhead Helicopters, departed a remote area located 13 NM northeast of Stewart, BC (CZST) to conduct external load operations with only the pilot on board. Shortly after liftoff, the load of steel pipe that was being slung with nylon straps on a 50 foot external line, using a Crosby-style hook, released due to an inadvertent opening of the keeper. There were no injuries. When the load was picked up, it was observed that one strap had flipped over the end of the hook and came to rest on the safety keeper, forcing a side load on the keeper rather than resting in the hook throat. This resulted in one strap releasing from the hook. After the incident, the Crosby-style hook was removed from service and replaced with a Sure-lock style hook.

The pilot of a privately registered Nanchang CJ6A from Victoria, BC (CYYJ) to Victoria, BC (CYYJ) reported that they were unable to extend their landing gear.
