Can't find any original post of the accident, but here's the TSB report

They have as pair of AStar's & a Jet Box.

RIP, sounds a pretty remote area

Reported on local news of an "amphibian" (I assume as opposed to a floatplane) made a hard landing on Pitt Lake. I've seen photos of a yellow keel, but no CADORS as far as I've seen. Most importantly the pilot and sole occupant is reported to be OK. Anyone know more? https://aviation-safety.net/wiki...

From the horses mouth - fascinating

Reported on local radio to be a privately owned Beaver, departed YVR heading to Pender Harbour. All 3 on board OK, aircraft sank.

I can say that YVR based Beaver's GUWF, GWKD & FGQF are all safe and sound.

Think there must be a captain at Carson with a sense of humor, there have been a few medevac flights recently with medical related callsigns like this

So no CRJ550?

Or are they included in the backlog to be complete by next year?

Heres some of the fleet at YPK, assume thats GXEY and PA32 GXUM in between - doesnt look too healthy.

They are operating scheds to Qualicum now from YVR

I always thought the 340A was also a Crusader?

Fort Langley Air C180

Got their AOC back yesterday.

GXPE flew into YYJ yesterday using its tail # as a callsign, still with the same IAX titles though - someone managed to circumvent the grounding somehow?

Excellent, thanks Jockey!

Ex Royal Navy WP766 T.10 supposedly came to Canada in Oct 1994, possibly registered to Jordan Aviation.

But can find no record of this s/n on the CCARCS.

Any Chippy experts help me locate it?

Was a 1900D and they burst a tire on landing.

No, its in YVR now mainly operating the Orca Qualicum scheds. You can clearly see where the cowl has been replaced too, all red engines, with a white cowl on that side.

The J31 is running to YAZ, but there are still some ho flights too. So are Orca now operating on the Integra OC or whats the story?

Jetstream was in and out of YVR today. Also an Integra sign up next to the Orca one at their check in counter at YVR south term

I remember when Orca got the bag contract in Alberta from Sunwest and they did such a poor job that it ended up going back Sunwest. Maybe their Ho’s had too much rain water in them. Sunwest has been a long time Metro, Caravan, and Ho operator and they were very good at it, although not cheap. Safet...

Are they bringing in extra aircraft? They recently parted out one more Saab and returned another to the lessor

But then... shouldn’t they have been bankrupt four years ago? ;) They still don’t (present tense, not past) have Metros. My point is, the failure of a company is rarely tied to a specific aircraft type. Look at Perimeter and Bearskin and Carson. Each have been successfully running Metros in all dif...
