- Date: June 23, 2010
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: Québec-Jean Lesage (Ancienne Lorette), Quebec, Canada
- Fatalities: 7
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Right engine power loss with the propeller not feathered, combined with lower than certified climb performance, poor crew coordination and a poor safety culture at the operator.
A King Air 100 charter operated by Aeropro was climbing after takeoff from Quebec City when the right engine lost power. The aircraft could not climb, struck the ground short of the runway end, slid into a berm, broke up and burned. All seven people on board were killed. The TSB found an unfeathered propeller, poor crew coordination and weak safety oversight at the operator.
