Narrative:
The privately registered Piper PA 31-310 Navajo (registration C-FWQX, serial number 31-92), operated by Northern Waterworks Sales and Consulting Inc., was on a visual flight rules flight from Pickle Lake to Kashechewan, Ontario, with 1 pilot and 3 passengers on board. Shortly after reaching cruise altitude, there was a brief rumble from the left engine, accompanied by decreases in exhaust and cylinder head temperatures. Consequently, the pilot reversed course. While en route to Pickle Lake, the left engine performance deteriorated and the pilot shut the engine down. Unable to maintain altitude, the pilot made a forced landing about 30 nautical miles east of Pickle Lake at 1215 Central Daylight Time. The pilot and 1 passenger sustained minor injuries. The aircraft sustained substantial damage, but there was no post-crash fire. The emergency locator transmitter activated on impact.
