THUNDER BAY — The approach environment for landing an aircraft at the Sandy Lake First Nation water aerodrome in Northwestern Ontario was different from normal at the time of a fatal plane crash last May.
He died after the aircraft struck a 40-metre-tall communications tower located at the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service detachment, then hit the ground and caught on fire. As a result, an area close to the typical landing zone that is usually a marsh was fully submerged in water."It is important for pilots to remember that a change in a familiar approach environment can cause obstacles that are not normally an issue to be come a factor during landing," the report, which includes a safety message, reads. "Therefore, pilots must remain vigilant when selecting a landing area to ensure a safe distance is maintained from obstacles.
The accident occurred as the pilot was returning from a trip to bring fuel and groceries to a cabin at northeast of Sandy Lake.
