Fed-Ex light cargo plane crashed in Winnipeg this morning killing the female pilot, the only person on board. It happened in Osborne Village with the plane hitting the railway tracks behind the Masonic Temple in a ball of flames.
Trevor Mueller saw the crash. He was waiting in his car across the river at the Winnipeg Rowing Club. He called 911.

(play audio clip)

Robin Alford of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service says one unit remains on the scene to assist investigators from Transport Canada. Other than that, Alford says all other units have returned to the station.

I think I know who you mean, I believe she has gone to YQM doing the same job there for Fedex. I hope.

I believe the C208s are operated by Morningstar in Canada. They have 6 C208s on the OC, all with C-FEX in in the reggie.

The Cessna Caravan has had 25 fatalities in 7 separate accidents in Canada. How long will the government keep allowing single engine IFR operations in Canada? What cost is required before someone says enough is enough?

Guest.
Wait until the investigation is complete before you start preaching on an emotional thread.
The cause is there, and they'll find it. And they'll announce it. Till then, speculation does nothing but aggravate an anguished situation.

THis is very sad news, I was on approach to 36 (vectors for the LOC) when I heard her request a return to the airport due to ice. The was the last call. We waited a few very long silent minutes while ATC vectored us around into a hold until they said she had indeed gone down around confusion corners. I've spent most of the morning hoping to hear she was ok

Some speculation weather had a role but it wasn't that bad by my estimation although we were south of the airport and she had just departed to the north of 36, at 3000 ft we were clear of cloud and ice and only picked up light rime on the approach.

My condolences to her Friends and family.

Ah...another "Guest" who creates an AvCanada account just to blather. Without knowing the true cause of the accident there is really no sense in bringing up SEIFR.

Start a new thread if you want to open that can of worms again.

I saw video of the wreckage this morning on TV. I don't think anyone could have survived. It's quite a tangled mess.
