The privately-registered Fleet 80 aircraft took off from Oliver for a private strip located 4.3 NM West of Rock Creek. During the flight the ceiling and visibility deteriorated. The pilot made a 180 degree turn but found weather conditions in that direction just as bad, so he turned back on his original track. While in the vicinity of a snow-covered mountain saddle, he encountered whiteout conditions and the aircraft impacted rising terrain. The pilot received minor injuries. The aircraft was substantially damaged. Signals were received from the ELT. A Search-and-Rescue operation was launched and the pilot was rescued by DND helicopter about 7 hours after the accident.
The registration was not reported by Transport Canada, however CF-DQD is the only Fleet 80 registered to Fossen Air.
