TSB Report #A20Q0084: A privately operated Cessna U206A (equipped with floats) was on a visual flight rules flight from Lac Sébastien, QC (CTD3) to Rivière-des-Prairies, QC, with a pilot and 2 passengers on board. While the aircraft was on the step during take-off in a westerly direction, a pontoon to the left of its path turned just in front of it. The pilot evaded and stopped its take-off, however the aircraft struck the shore of an island and came to rest in a swamp. There were no injuries and the aircraft sustained significant damage.

A privately registered, amateur-built Pipistrel Virus SW on a VFR flight from Quebec/Neuville, QC (CNV9) to Charlevoix, QC (CYML) to Quebec/Neuville, QC (CNV9), with code but without a flight plan, experienced a gasoline leak and then an engine failure. They made an emergency landing at Isle-aux-Grues, QC (CSH2). No injuries or damage.
UPDATE: Aviation Incident Report #16824: The pilot of an ultralight (Pipistrel) contacted universal communications (UNICOM) in Montmagny, QC (CSE5) to advise that the aircraft had a possible fuel leak and that they were coming to make a precautionary landing. No emergency was declared at this time. The pilot contacted UNICOM again to advise that they would ultimately not have enough fuel to get to CSE5. The pilot then mentioned that they will instead land at Isles-aux-Grues, QC (CSH2). Communication with the UNICOM of CSH2 was difficult due to the quality of communication (i.e. clarity). A helicopter pilot, who was flying in the vicinity, was involved in the communications to help the pilot orient and navigate to the runway of CSH2. Finally, communication improved and the UNICOM attendant managed to talk to the pilot in difficulty (note that the radio frequency is the same for both aerodromes because they are nearby). The pilot announced that their engine has just stopped operating (the fuel gauge was indicating 0 litres, whereas a few moments ago it indicated 10 litres). The pilot was having difficulty finding the airstrip on the island; the attendant informed the pilot that the runway threshold is near the farm silos. The pilot saw the runway and landed a few seconds later, without damaging the aircraft. The aircraft was then pushed off of the runway. No injuries. No impact on operations. No emergency was declared during the event.

An École de Pilotage Évolution Diamond DA 20-C1 (C-GWEM) from Ottawa/Gatineau, QC (CYND) to Ottawa/Gatineau, QC (CYND) was conducting touch-and-gos.

The National Operations Centre (NOC), the Aviation Operations Centre (AVOPS) and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) were notified.
Update: TSB Report #A20Q0091: C-FDLJ, a Cessna 172N operated by Grondin Transports Inc., was on a local training flight from St-Frédéric, QC (CSZ4) airport with a student pilot alone on board. In a precautionary landing simulation practice exercise, the student pilot selected a field and then prepared the aircraft for an inspection at 500 feet AGL. The flaps were reportedly lowered to 20 degrees and power was reduced to a speed of about 70 knots (kts). After the inspection, the aircraft climbed to approximately 1000 feet AGL and the flaps were raised to 10 degrees. Towards the end of the left downwind leg, the student pilot observed a vertical speed of -1000 feet per minute (FPM) on the vertical speedometer (VSI) and the stall recovery technique was applied by pushing on the nose. The aircraft levelled off and VSI was observed at -1000 FPM again. The stall recovery manoeuvre was redone, but the situation remained the same. The manoeuvre was repeated a few times and the aircraft ended up very low. The student pilot saw 2 fields in front of them with a tree line separating them. The aircraft was turned right, and then left, in an attempt to reduce speed and allow a landing past the edge of the trees. The aircraft struck the edge of the trees in the left turn. About 1.5 meters of the left wing tore off as a result of the impact and caused the aircraft to turn more sharply. The portion of the left wing that was still attached to the aircraft touched down for a length of about 18 meters. The aircraft then inverted onto its back, the propeller struck the ground, followed by the engine. The aircraft bounced, then touched the ground, still on its back, slid for about 53 meters and then came to a stop about 137 meters from the edge of the trees. There was no fire. The pilot sustained serious injuries. The pilot evacuated themselves from the aircraft. Residents near the area came to the pilots aid and the pilot was taken to hospital.

A Montreal Flying Club Cessna 150L (C-GUIL) from Montreal/St-Hubert, QC (CYHU) to Montreal/St-Hubert, QC (CYHU) declared PAN PAN due to smoke in the cockpit while on the end of the downwind Runway 24R.

Aviation Incident Report #16540: At Bagotville, QC (CYBG), a runway incursion was committed by a foreman at the intersection of Runway 18/36 and Runway 11/29 while a Jazz de Havilland DHC-8-301 (C-GETA/JZA8684) from Montreal/Trudeau, QC (CYUL) to Bagotville, QC (CYBG) was landing on Runway 36. Foreman was instructed to proceed on the airfield, holding short of Runway 36, and had read back the restriction. A few minutes later, the foreman was on Runway 29, driving towards Runway 36 faster than expected, so the ground controller reiterated to the foreman to hold short of Runway 36. This was followed by the instruction to stop immediately when the vehicle was seen crossing the hold short line. The vehicle was then immobilized at the center of the main intersection when the aircraft touched down. Ground control issued instructions to the vehicle to vacate the runway without delay, while the tower controller told the pilot about the unauthorized vehicle at the main intersection. The pilot had a visual on the vehicle and, after touching down, decided to pull up. The aircraft ended up conducting an overshoot less than a 100 above the vehicle when it was exiting the runway. The aircraft stayed on the tower frequency and came back for a landing on the active runway (Runway 29) without further incident.

On initial climb out from Runway 24L, a Montreal Flying Club Cessna 150M (C-GKSA) from Montreal/St-Hubert, QC (CYHU) to Montreal/St-Hubert, QC (CYHU) was not answering calls from the controller.

Update: TSB Report #A20Q0044: C-FBRH, a Cessna 337G operated by MAG Aerospace Canada Corp., was on visual flight rules from Sudbury, ON (CYSB) to Val-dOr, QC (CYVO). When landing on Runway 18, a gust of wind helped bounce the aircraft onto the runway. Following the rebound, the aircraft struck the ground hard, causing the front landing gear to collapse, and causing the propeller to strike the ground. The aircraft came to a stop on the runway. The pilot, alone on board, was not injured. The aircraft sustained significant damage. The company temporarily suspended flights from its other Cessna 337G aircraft to conduct detailed inspections of the nose landing gears, and no anomalies were reported.

The signal of an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) was heard at 1751Z at Montreal/Mirabel, QC (CYMX). Signal stopped at 1816Z. It was from an aircraft at the airport that was conducting tests.

A WestJet Encore de Havilland DHC-8-402 (C-GKWE/WEN3485) on a flight from Halifax/Stanfield Intl, NS (CYHZ) to Ottawa/MacDonald-Cartier Intl, ON (CYOW) reported an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal, 4/5 on its descent from FL240 into CYOW. Signal became intermittent at 13 000 ft and stopped at 8 000 ft. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Trenton (TR) was advised. Various aircraft in the vicinity reported the ELT. Last positive report was received at 2135Z.

After receiving and re-reading the instruction to stay clear of Runway 34, a privately registered, amateur-built Ultravia Pelican PL from Roberval, QC (CYRJ) to Alma, QC (CYTF) was observed beyond the stop line. An Exact Air Inc. Cessna 172P (C-GILC) from Chicoutimi/St-Honoré, QC (CYRC) to Roberval, QC (CYRJ) and a Quebec Helicopters Inc. Aerospatiale AS 350 BA (C-FZXY ) on a flight to Roberval, QC (CYRJ) were on the approach at this time. They were not informed that Ultravia was beyond the stop line because the flight service station (FSS) was not aware of the situation at the time.

TSB Report #A20Q0042: A privately operated Cessna A185E aircraft on wheel-skis, with 1 pilot on board, was flying under visual flight rules from the St-Mathias, Quebec (CSP5) aerodrome to its destination of Neuville (CNV9), Quebec. During the take-off roll, 40 to 50 feet after the tail wheel lifted, a gust of crosswind caused the aircraft to turn to the left. The pilot cut power to abort takeoff. The aircraft exited the runway and the pilot saw a ditch in front of them. Finding that their speed was too high to be able to stop before the ditch, they returned to full power in an attempt to pass over the ditch, since there was a field after. The right ski went over, but the left ski hit the edge of the ditch. The aircraft fell flat and sustained significant damage. There were no injuries. The emergency locator transmitter did not activate.

TSB Report #A20Q0024: C-GABO, a Jazz Aviation LP Dash-8-300 (DH8C) (JZA8970), was on an IFR flight from Ottawa/Macdonald-Cartier, ON (CYOW) to Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau, QC (CYUL) with 48 passengers and 3 crew members on board. After the landing and while the aircraft was taxiing to the terminal, a passenger alerted the crew to flames coming out from the right main gear. The crew brought the aircraft to a stop and requested the intervention of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) services. The fire quickly went out and the aircraft was towed away to the passenger bridge. When the aircrafts right main gear was checked, a breakage was found in two bearings in the inboard wheel.

While inbound, a WestJet Encore de Havilland DHC-8-402 (C-FENO/WEN3538) from Toronto/Lester B. Pearson, ON (CYYZ) to Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau, QC (CYUL) declared MAYDAY due to flight control problems. Coordination carried out. WEN3538 landed without incident at 0248Z. No impact.
UPDATE from TSB Report #A20Q0039: C-FENO, a Bombardier DHC-8-400 aircraft operated by WestJet Encore, was operating flight WEN3538 under instrument flight rules from Toronto/Lester B Pearson Intl, ON (CYYZ) to its destination of Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau Intl, QC (CYUL) with 21 passengers and 4 crew members on board. While the aircraft was descending towards CYUL, the "mistrim left wing low advisory light" light came on. The crew disconnected the autopilot and found that the flight controls were very stiff. They pulled the roll disconnection lever, and the commanders controls became free but those of the first officer remained stiff. The crew completed the associated Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) checklist and an emergency was declared. The aircraft landed without incident. There were no injuries.
UPDATE from Flight Operations: A Civil Aviation Safety Inspector (CASI) looked into this occurrence. During the descent of WEN3538, the MISTRIM LEFT WING LOW advisory light illuminated. When the First Officer (FO) / Pilot Flying (PF) disconnected the autopilot, it was noticed that the controls were very stiff and the Captain confirmed the same. The roll disconnect handle was pulled, which freed the Captain’s side while completely freezing the FO’s side. Quick Reference Card (QRC)and Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) procedures were actioned and air traffic control (ATC) was advised with a MAYDAY call that the aircraft was experiencing flight control malfunction. The runway assigned was the Instrument Landing System (ILS) 06R due to it having a longer available landing distance than 06L. Flight attendants were briefed for a non-normal landing, and the passengers were also notified. The approach and landing were normal and, upon stopping on the runway, the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) unit conducted an inspection to confirm that no abnormalities were present. The aircraft taxied to the gate for a normal shutdown.

An Air Inuit Boeing 737-2S2C (C-GAIG/AIE705) from La Grande Rivière, QC (CYGL) to Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau, QC (CYUL) was cleared to FL370, but did not stop climbing until FL374. When questioned, the pilot said they had not selected the appropriate altimeter setting, i.e. 2992.

Aviation incident report #16575: The crew of an Exact Air Cessna 310R (C-FTNF), with a flight instructor and a pilot on board, was conducting a VFR training flight from Chicoutimi/St-Honoré, QC (CYRC) to Chicoutimi/St-Honoré, QC (CYRC). The aircraft had planned to make a complete stop at Dolbeau-St-Félicien, QC (CYDO) after it had conducted a simulated IFR approach on Runway 29 at CYDO. Two communications were made on the CYDO aerodrome traffic frequency (ATF) to transmit their position/intention for a complete stop (1st at 9 NM and 2nd at 3 NM from the runway threshold). The first aircraft left the circuit at that time, after it had taken off from Runway 29, and a second aircraft coordinated with C-FTNF, on simulated IFR approach, lined up on Runway 29 for takeoff. Approximately 1 NM from the runway threshold, the pilots heard a vehicle report that it was taxiing on the taxiway, short of Runway 29. The pilots then reported that they were on short final for Runway 29 for a complete stop. The vehicle continued to taxi without any indication of stopping, crossed the hold-short line, and drove onto Runway 29 up to the threshold. The pilots then conducted a go-around approximately 200 ft from the ground. Weather conditions were SKCLR +12SM. Strobe lights and ground traffic lights went on. The pilots indicated via radio that they were pulling up. The driver of the vehicle then reported having poor radio reception. Traffic had to take off on Runway 29 (a CQFA Beechcraft with an instructor on board), and it confirmed that communication transmitted by the crew of C-FTNF were perfectly comprehensible on the ATF. It also seemed that a tractor driven by an airport staff member was moving around at the airport without a radio system with it, so ground operators initiated a relay via an unknown other method to inform it of the movement of the aircraft in the CYDO zone. Impact: A go-around and a cancellation of the originally planned complete stop at CYDO.

A loud and clear emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal was heard without interruption on the Montreal/Saint-Hubert, QC (CYHU) towers emergency frequency from 1330Z to 1333Z, then 2 or 3 times intermittently from 1333Z to 1335Z. The ELT signal stopped at 1335Z. The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) at Trenton was notified. No impact.

While a vehicle (LUX340) was taxiing on Lima at Montreal/St-Hubert, QC (CYHU), a tie-down strap was visibly dragging from behind it. Before the driver could intervene, the strap fell off and the driver requested clearance to stop and pick it up. No impact.
