- Aircraft: Piper PA-31-310 Navajo
- Location: Kangiqsualujjuaq (Wakeham Bay), Quebec, Canada

A Piper Navajo chartered by Les Transports Aero 2000 was flying VFR from Kangiqsujuaq to Kuujjuaq, Quebec, when it struck the eastern slope of the Nouveau-Quebec crater in level flight. The four occupants were killed. The wreckage was found by a ground search the following day.
