- Date: November 10, 1993
- Aircraft: Avro 748
- Location: Sandy Lake, Ontario, Canada
- Fatalities: 7
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The crew most likely lost situational awareness after takeoff and did not detect the increasing deviation from the intended flight path. Lack of AC power to some flight instruments contributed; the reason for the power loss was not determined.
Air Manitoba scheduled flight NAM 205 departed Sandy Lake at night and entered a right turn after takeoff. The HS 748 flew lower than normal through the turn, then descended into 100-foot trees about one nautical mile northwest of the airport. All seven people on board were killed.
