C-GKKU, a privately operated Cessna 182P aircraft, was on a VFR flight plan from Calgary/Springbank, AB (CYBW) to Nanaimo, BC (CYCD) with two persons on board. The pilot was in contact initially with Kelowna sector Air Traffic Services to provide flight following. At a point during cruise flight, the pilot was advised that radar service was terminated. Approximately 30 minutes later, the aircraft collided with a mountain at an elevation of about 5800’ ASL. The aircraft had been observed following the Coquihalla Highway at very low altitude due to a ceiling of approximately 300’ AGL. The aircraft was equipped with a Garmin ADS-B antenna and was identified by the NavCanada Aireon satellite system. The last recorded target placed the aircraft in a climb at 5200’ feet ASL. It had turned right into a valley, away from the highway, and collided with a granite mountain slope. Both occupants were fatally injured. The aircraft was destroyed and mostly consumed by fire.
