Maj. Mark Gough of Maritime Forces Atlantic says the victim was a 73-year-old passenger from the United Kingdom
Gough says the U.S.-registered single-engine plane was on its way from Goose Bay, N.L., to Greenland when it went down about 75 kilometres southeast of Makkovik on Wednesday.
Blizzard-like conditions hindered rescue efforts, delaying a ground search and rescue team from reaching the crash site for hours. A team of nine rescuers, including one local RCMP officer from the Makkovik detachment and eight volunteers, managed to get their snowmobiles close to the mountain and then proceeded up to the site on foot.
