- Date: December 30, 2005
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Residual ice on the wings after de-icing led to an ice-induced stall in the landing flare, followed by a hard landing.
A Transwest Air King Air on a medevac flight into La Ronge, Saskatchewan, carried ice on its wings that the de-ice boots did not fully clear. In the landing flare the aircraft reportedly stalled from low height and landed hard, so the right wing and nacelle collapsed and the propeller struck the runway during taxi. No one was killed.
