The Bakers Narrows Air Service de Havilland DHC-2 MK1 Beaver, C-FFLN, was landing at the Grace Lake, MB, ice strip for an airworthiness inspection by Transport Canada. The aircraft had recently been purchased from Cargair and ferried from St. Hubert, PQ. After the aircraft touched down, the TC inspectors observed the right wing drop and possibly contact the ice surface. The pilot aborted the landing believing that he had entered deep slush. After takeoff, the right ski was observed flailing in the slip stream and then falling from the aircraft. The pilot elected to fly to the nearby The Pas, MB, airport in order to have emergency crews on standby. Damage had occurred during the first landing attempt to the belly tank and fuel was leaking. The pilot also noted that the left ski appeared to be insecure. The pilot landed safely along side Runway 13. The TC inspectors noted that on both ski fittings, a retaining washer required by the maintenance manual was not installed.
