- Date: October 25, 2010
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 100 King Air
- Location: Kirby Lake, Alberta, Canada
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The crew's attention was diverted from monitoring the instruments during the approach, so the airspeed decayed and the aircraft stalled below the minimum descent altitude. The stall warning did not sound for reasons the TSB could not determine.
A Kenn Borek Air King Air 100 on an IFR charter from Edmonton City Centre to Kirby Lake, carrying BP employees, struck the ground short of the runway during the instrument approach. The captain was killed and several others were seriously injured. A small cockpit fire was put out by survivors and first responders, and the aircraft was substantially damaged.
