- Date: September 23, 2003
- Aircraft: Cessna 414 Chancellor
- Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The pilot lost situational awareness, most likely believing he was over lower terrain, and the aircraft was very likely flown into cloud during a day VFR flight, preventing him from seeing and avoiding the terrain.
A Cessna 414A on a daytime VFR cargo flight from Cranbrook to Calgary disappeared from radar over the Highwood Range. The wreckage was found on a ridge about 40 hours later, and the single pilot was killed. The aircraft broke apart on impact with a brief fireball.
