The unmanned air vehicle (UAV) Draganflyer X4-ES was conducting aerial mapping at the St. John's, NL waste management facility and was operated by Cloudbreaker under a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC). Having completed a planned mapping mission, the UAV was being flown manually for the landing.

A post-crash fire initiated at the lithium polymer battery and destroyed the UAV.
