Détails:
The aircraft accelerated slowly in the slush, and the pilot rejected the takeoff. He selected a different takeoff run, moved a passenger to a forward seat, and attempted a second takeoff. The pilot continued beyond his previously selected rejection distance. The engine revolutions per minute (rpm) then reportedly decreased by about 150 rpm. The aircraft did not become airborne, and it ran into the low shoreline and crashed, skidding to a stop about 300 feet from the shore. An intense fire broke out immediately. The passengers and pilot evacuated the aircraft. Only one passenger suffered minor burns during the evacuation. Flames engulfed the main fuselage and engine, destroying the aircraft.
CAUSES ET FACTEURS CONTRIBUTIFS: "Alors que le ski gauche de l'avion reposait lourdement sur de la neige fondante, le pilote a poursuivi la course au décollage au-delà du point auquel il aurait pu interrompre le décollage sans danger. La baisse de régime du moteur durant la course au décollage a également contribué à l'accident."
