C-GUBS Sabourin Lake Airways Ltd., (Norm Hegland), Cochenour, ON. Regd 07-Apr-1976.

Accident: North Spirit Lake, ON. Lat 53.31N. Lon 92.59W. 15-Jul-1976. The pilot circled the lake on arrival in preparation for landing. While decreasing airspeed prior to lowering flaps, the aircraft yawed to the left in the moderately turbulent air. The pilot applied some right rudder and a violent yaw to the right followed. The right wing dropped and the aircraft rotated 180 deg losing height rapidly and crashing in the lake, nose and right wing low. The pilot evacuated the aircraft safely. The aircraft was over gross weight with the c of g beyond the forward limit. The floats EDO-679-4930 were designed for a turbo beaver but also certified under CAR-3 for this installation provided a ventral fin was installed. The ventral fin was not installed on this aircraft and flight testing concluded that the aircraft was directionally unstable without it and complete loss of control could follow. The pilot suffered serious injury.
