| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft departed Thompson for a flight to Toronto, Ontario via Winnipeg, Manitoba. The aircraft took off from runway 05 and after a left procedure turn returned across the airport parallel to runway 23 at low altitude. The right wing was observed to fold upward, and the aircraft collided with the ground. Some of the material which separated from the aircraft before impact was from the left wing; it is therefore considered that some deformation of that wing must have occurred before impact although the failure observed by witnesses involved the right wing,
Probable cause (s)
Material failure of the wing main spar occurred under flight loads as a result of weakness caused by fatigue cracks.
