The aircraft was stuck in the snow and the company requested a NOTAM closing the runway. The company later called North Bay FIC about four and a half hours later at 1740z to advise the aircraft had been removed and to cancel the NOTAM. FIC then cancelled the NOTAM and Montreal Centre was advised.

Narrative: UPDATE TSB reported that the Swearingen Metro (SA226-TC) registration C-GQAJ and operated by Perimeter Aviation as PAG 952, was on an IFR flight from Gods Lake Narrows MB to Sanikiluaq , NU with two pilots and a nurse on board. During arrival at destination, the weather information was not available and the crew performed a visual inspection before landing on Runway 09. Following touchdown, the crew lost control of the aircraft in a crosswind and left the runway surface on the north side and came to rest in the snow. There were no injuries but the aircraft received substantial damage.

I know the captain of that particular flight and would trust him with any flight. Losing control could happen to any of us.

An interesting tid-bit about Perimeter that I heard from one of their managers a couple of years ago .... they fly something like 33,000 sectors in a year, into some pretty crummy places, so it shouldn't be any big news that even if they get their error rate down to .001% its still a significant number.

Not knowing the Metro 2 in regards to fuel load, can it fly Winnipeg to God's Lake Narrows, then God's Lake Narrows all the way to Sanikiluaq and hold an alternate with IFR reserve fuel? What is full fuel on the 2?

Also, why would Manitoba Ambulance approved pilots and nurses be doing Nunavut Government medevac coverage? Are the Perimeter crews approved to do Nunavut region as well?

554 US gallons (2100 liters). Burn is approx 600 lbs/hour.

Why were they doing the medevac? Since the company with the Nunavut medevac contract is owned by the same people as Perimeter.

Manitoba companies have been doing Nunavut medevacs on a back up basis for Keewatin for as long as I can remember. Used to do a couple every month.

I'm pretty sure Gods lake Narrows has Fuel Perimeter has Fuel tanks everywhere, they also base a crew in YGO from what I recall.

I will let the nerds figure out the fuel burns from YGO to ....... wait a sec are you really trying to insinuate something here about fuel burn and alternates for this flight.

Whip it out and put it on the table or STFU explain your post.

It's actually 648 US gallons for a Metro II (SA-226TC) and 577 US gallons for a long body Merlin (SA-226AT)

As well, Perimeter does have fuel in YGO.
