A Piper Navajo operated by Trans-Cote was flying a night VFR round trip from St. Anthony, Newfoundland, to Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon, Quebec. The crew reported on final approach and then no further transmissions were received. Debris appeared on the ice and the tail was recovered about seven months later. Both pilots were presumed dead.
