- Date: April 1, 2011
- Aircraft: Casa 212 Aviocar
- Location: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Right engine power loss after a failed gear in the torque sensor drive, followed by left engine fuel starvation: debris restricted a fuel ejector pump, and the crew did not notice the low-fuel warning, so the crossfeed valve stayed closed.
A CASA 212 on a geophysical survey flight from Saskatoon lost power in the right engine and then, after about 14 minutes, the left engine also quit from fuel starvation. The crew force-landed beside Wanuskewin Road and struck a concrete noise abatement wall. The survey equipment operator died, and the aircraft was destroyed.
