- Date: November 18, 2012
- Aircraft: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
- Location: Snow Lake, Manitoba, Canada
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: Stall shortly after takeoff from an overweight aircraft with airframe icing, which reduced performance and impaired stall warning protection, following a breakdown in the operator's operational control (TSB findings).
A Gogal Air Services Cessna 208B Grand Caravan took off from Snow Lake overweight, with ice on its wing and tail leading edges from the previous flight. It stalled shortly after departure and struck wooded terrain about 0.9 nautical miles beyond the runway end. The pilot was killed and the seven passengers were seriously injured.
