The investigation found the pilot had told a flight service specialist in Edmonton on Aug. 31 that he was taking off from La Crete, Alta., for Saskatoon…
A board report says RCMP found the pilot dead two days after the crash in the rugged terrain of Marten Mountain, about 10 kilometres northeast of Slave Lake.
The Transportation Safety Board did not identify the pilot, but RCMP said last year an 84-year-old man from Saskatchewan had been killed in a plane crash Aug. 31. A search after the plane’s emergency transmitter activated was delayed, because the bad weather made it difficult to get into the densely treed area.
Investigators did not find any problems or malfunctions with the plane that “would have prevented the aircraft from operating normally during the flight.”
