- Date: October 25, 2007
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: Chibougamau, Quebec, Canada
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The aircraft was configured late and the approach became unstable. A steep turn at low altitude increased the load factor and caused a stall too low for recovery. Crew resource management and monitoring problems also contributed.
An Air Creebec Beechcraft A100 King Air on a positioning flight from Val-d'Or to Chibougamau flew a non-precision approach and went around. On the second approach it descended below cloud, made a steep low-altitude turn to line up with the runway and struck the runway, then caught fire. Both pilots died and the aircraft was destroyed by the fire, and the nearest fire station took about 26 minutes to arrive.
