Narrative:
The Beech King Air 100 was on a night instrument flight rules (IFR) medevac flight from Fort McMurray to the Edmonton Municipal Airport, Alberta. On descent through 18,000 feet, at approximately 200 knots indicated air speed (IAS), the aircraft yawed and began to vibrate excessively. The flight crew observed that the upper aft section of the left engine cowling was detached and lodged against the leading edge of the left wing, outboard of the engine. They declared an emergency, continued the descent at 150 knots IAS, and landed without further incident or injury. The detached cowl fell to the runway during the landing roll. Subsequent visual examination of the empennage determined that the outboard 22 inches of the left elevator had also departed from the aircraft before landing.
