Inquiry Into the Matter of a Crash of a Panarctic Electra Aircraft at Rea Point, Northwest Territories, October 30, 1974, before His Honour Judge W.A. Stevenson : report.: Z1-1975/2E-PDF
“On October 30, 1974 a Lockheed Electra aircraft registered as CF-PAB crashed into the sea ice at a point approximately 2.5 nautical miles southeast of its destination, Rea Point, Melville Island, N.W.T. The flight carried 30 passengers, all of whom died as a result of the crash and four crew members, two of whom died. At a point approximately three miles from its destination the aircraft, which had then been travelling at about 300 feet above sea level (250 feet above the Rea Point Airport), went into an abrupt descent and struck the sea ice. It broke on impact with the bulk of the craft ultimately breaking through the ice. The resultant deaths are all attributable to the crash, although in some cases exposure, shock and drowning would be described as the immediate cause. This report examines the circumstances and the cause or causes and, for convenience, is divided into the following headings: The Aircraft, The Aviation Operations of Panarctic, The Crew, The Rea Point Landing Facility, Flight 416, Events on The Ground, The Cause or Causes, and Summary of Conclusions”--Summary, p. 2-3.
