On board were a single pilot and eight passengers. After lining up at the start of the 3000 ft m mid -long gravel runway, the pilot applied full power and commenced take-off.http://www.tsb.gc.ca/ENG/rapports-reports/aviation/2011/a11c0102/a11c0102.asp Aviation Investigation Report A11C0102 Transportation Safety Board of Canada 19 May 2019 During the take-off run, the aircraft encountered several soft patches on the runway. The pilot realised that the airspeed had stopped increasing, and rejected the take-off with an estimated 600 ft on of runway remaining. With reverse pitch selected but the engine at idle, the aircraft failed to stop before the end of the runway and rolled down a steep slope, coming to rest in a ravine. The airframe, including the fuel system, was severely damaged by the impact with the up-slope past the ravine, and a post-impact fire ensued almost immediately. One passenger who was knocked unconscious in the impact could not be extricated from the wreckage and died of smoke inhalation. The pilot and the other seven passengers received minor injuries and were able to return to the terminal building. Aircraft The aircraft was a single-engine turboprop Cessna 208B Grand Caravan with registration C-FMCB and manufacturer's serial number 208B-1114. Built in 2005, it was owned by Beaver Air Services and operated by Missinippi Airways.ASN Aircraft accident Cessna 208B Grand Caravan C-FMCB Pukatawagan Airport, MB (XPK) http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20110704-0 July 9, 2011 Aviation Safety Network July 4, 2011 Aftermath The investigation led Transport Canada to revoke Missinippi Airways' air operator's certificate,Transport Canada Suspends Missinippi Airways' Air Operator Certificate http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2011-pnr01e-6399.htm July 16, 2011 Transport Canada dead https://web.archive.org/web/20111102031717/http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2011-pnr01e-6399.htm November 2, 2011 mdy-all for safety concerns.QMI Manitoba airline suspended after fatal crash http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/Canada/2011/07/18/18436371.html https://web.archive.org/web/20160308224043/http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/Canada/2011/07/18/18436371.html dead March 8, 2016 July 19, 2011 C News July 18, 2011 Without this, it is unable to fly commercial air services in Canada.The Canadian Press Transport Canada suspends Missinippi Airways air operator certificate http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/breakingnews/125688353.html July 19, 2011 The Canadian Press July 16, 2011 The air operator's certificate was subsequently reinstated effective September 3, 2011.Transport Canada reinstates Missinippi Airways' Air Operator Certificate http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/September2011/03/c8452.html https://archive.today/20120905030426/http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/September2011/03/c8452.html dead September 5, 2012 September 16, 2011 Transport Canada On October 21, 2011 at 11:59 pm Transport Canada suspended the Air Operator Certificate again due to deficiencies with the company's Operational Control System after an inspection during the week.Transport Canada suspends Missinippi Airways' Air Operator Certificate http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2011-pnr04e-6485.htm October 24, 2011 Transport Canada dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120108075407/http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2011-pnr04e-6485.htm January 8, 2012 mdy-all On November 19, 2011 the Air Operator Certificate was again reinstated.Transport Canada has reinstated Missinippi Airways' Air Operator Certificate http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2011-pnr005e-6540.htm November 19, 2011 Transport Canada dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120308222926/http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/mediaroom/releases-2011-pnr005e-6540.htm March 8, 2012 mdy-all Investigation An investigation was carried out by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. The final report was released in June 2012 and found that several factors combined to prevent the aircraft from attaining take-off airspeed, including the soft conditions of the gravel runway following recent rain, the take-off technique adopted by the pilot, which may have caused an increase in the aerodynamic drag, and likely gusty wind conditions. It was also determined that although the pilot's decision to reject the takeoff was reasonable, it was made at a point from which insufficient runway remained to bring the aircraft to a stop without resulting in a runway excursion. Contributing to the only fatality was that the deceased passenger was not wearing the available shoulder harness, which could have limited the extent of his injuries and the risk of loss of consciousness while the fire was engulfing the wreckage. As a result of the investigation, Missinippi Airways implemented a new short-field take-off procedure and committed to put greater emphasis on short/soft field take-off and landing training.
