The GlaStar C-GMDP was on a pleasure flight from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories to Kelowna, British Columbia, with two pilots on board. At approximately 1401 Pacific daylight time, shortly after passing Chetwynd, British Columbia, a severe power plant vibration and loss of power was experienced. The engine power was reduced to 1000 RPM and a forced landing into a field attempted. On short final, the aircraft struck a power line and veered off course to the right, where it struck trees and rising terrain. The pilot in the left seat received non-life threatening injuries. The pilot in the right seat was fatally injured. There was no emergency transmitter signal and there was no fire. The failure of the number 2 cylinder caused the engine to lose power.
