- Date: July 12, 2019
- Aircraft: De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver
- Location: Lake Boulène, Quebec, Canada
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: Controlled flight into terrain after the pilot continued flying at a relatively low speed and in a nose up attitude, which reduced his field of vision.
A privately operated DHC 2 Beaver floatplane flew from Desert Lake toward Barrage Gouin and Weakwaten Lake in Quebec with the pilot and three passengers. About 48 minutes into the leg it collided with trees and struck the ground south of Chibougamau. The pilot and two passengers were killed and one passenger was injured. The TSB found the pilot continued at a relatively low speed in a nose up attitude that reduced his field of vision.
