C-GTMW, a Swearingen SA-226 operating as Speedair 703, was on a courier flight from Moncton, New Brunswick, to Sydney, Nova Scotia. While being radar vectored for an instrument landing system (ILS) approach, the aircraft was flown through the localizer. The pilots were then issued another heading by the Moncton Area Control Centre (ACC) controller to re-intercept the localizer. Shortly afterwards, the pilot advised the Moncton ACC controller that they were doing an overshoot. The pilot received clearance for another approach to runway 19 and landed at Sydney Airport without further incident. The recorded Moncton ACC radar data showed that, before overshooting, the aircraft had descended to an altitude of 200 feet above sea level (asl). Several eye witnesses on the ground reported that the aircraft nearly hit the Lingan power generating plant, located one and one-third nautical miles east of the November approach beacon.
