- Date: July 4, 2011
- Aircraft: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
- Location: Pukatawagan, Manitoba, Canada
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Runway conditions, the pilot's takeoff technique and shifting winds slowed acceleration, and the takeoff was rejected too late to stop within the available distance. The steep drop-off beyond the runway end contributed to the injuries and the fire.
A Missinippi Airways Cessna 208B Caravan rejected its takeoff from Pukatawagan but could not stop before the end of Runway 33 and went down an embankment into a ravine. A post-crash fire followed. One passenger died, while the pilot and seven other passengers escaped with minor injuries.
