- Date: June 25, 2014
- Aircraft: De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver
- Location: Kennedy Lake, Ontario, Canada
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: TSB: Gusty crosswind and turbulence before touchdown led to an uncommanded yaw and left wing drop indicating an aerodynamic stall, and the pilot could not regain full control before the aircraft struck rising terrain on the shore.
A float equipped DHC 2 Beaver operated by Sudbury Aviation Limited was on approach to Kennedy Lake, Ontario, on 25 June 2014 with a pilot and two passengers aboard. A gusty crosswind and turbulence before touchdown made the aircraft roll left, and the pilot's attempt to recover failed, so it struck rising tree covered terrain above the shoreline and came to rest on its right side. No fire occurred, the occupants walked to the company fishing camp, and the TSB investigated the event as a loss of control on landing (report A14O0105).
