- Date: November 6, 2000
- Aircraft: Piper PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain
- Location: Winnipeg-Richardson (ex Stevenson Field), Manitoba, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Water in the right inboard fuel tank froze and blocked fuel flow, stopping the right engine. The pilot then did not keep a safe airspeed and altitude, did not fly a stabilized approach, and was task saturated.
A Keystone Air Service Piper Chieftain on an IFR flight from Pukatawagan to Winnipeg lost its right engine after fuel in the right inboard tank froze. The pilot let the airspeed fall during an approach to Winnipeg, and the aircraft crashed in woods about two nautical miles south of the airport. Two occupants were seriously injured and others had minor injuries.
