- Date: April 19, 2004
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: Chibougamau, Quebec, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The aircraft was too high over the threshold to land in the first part of the runway, compounded by a tailwind and wet surface. Failure to follow standard procedures and poor crew coordination prevented a go-around.
A Beechcraft A100 King Air on a Myrand Aviation charter from Quebec City to Chibougamau landed long on a wet runway with a tailwind. It overran the runway end and sank into gravel and snow about 500 feet beyond. None of the five occupants were injured, but the aircraft was severely damaged.
