- Date: January 27, 1994
- Aircraft: IAI 1124 Westwind
- Location: Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Loss of control consistent with an accelerated stall during a non-standard circling approach flown below the published altitude, with whiteout conditions possibly contributing.
A privately owned IAI Westwind II flying from Edmonton to Meadow Lake in low ceilings and reduced visibility was circling to land on runway 26. It performed steep banked manoeuvres at low altitude and descended into the ground in a nose-high attitude. The aircraft broke apart and a severe post-crash fire engulfed the wreckage. Both pilots died.
