The pilot of the float-equipped Pelican ultralight, registration C-IAZR, had just taken off from Chenail-du-Moine, Quebec, for a local pleasure flight. Shortly after take-off, the pilot executed a 180-degree right-hand turn to come back to the channel. While overflying the channel, the wings of the aircraft suddenly began to vibrate, and a continuous noise was heard. The aircraft then turned around again, creating the impression that the pilot intended to return to his point of departure. After crossing the channel, the aircraft executed a third 180-degree turn. During this turn, and at a height of about 100 feet above ground level, the aircraft stalled and crashed on an island.
Shortly after the accident, an explosion occurred. The aircraft caught fire and was destroyed. The pilot, the only occupant of the aircraft, died on impact.
The aircraft stalled in a low-altitude turn after one blade separated from the propeller. The repair to the propeller of the ultralight contributed to the accident.
