Accident: Kashishabog Lake, Nr Armstrong, ON. 24-Aug-2002. The aircraft was en-route from Holinshead Lake to Kashishibog when the pilot encountered deteriorating weather conditions. As the flight progressed, the ceiling became increasingly lower until it was nearly at tree top level. Shortly thereafter, the pilot located a cabin at the destination outpost camp. On final approach to the camp, the aircraft struck the water while in a turn, tearing off one float and it eventually sank. The pilot and four passengers exited the aircraft and attempted to swim ashore. While swimming, one of the passengers went missing and was not located. ON Provincial Police divers were dispatched to search for the missing passenger. One serious injury; three minor injuries; one unknown. CADORS report 2002O1137. TSB report A02C0191.

• N93V Jerry Shultz, Dallas TX. Operated by Jonathan L. Miller, Anchorage. AK. Circa Apr-2007.

Accident: Anchorage International Airport, AK . 17-Apr-2007. Following a rebuild of the accident airplane, the pilot and the mechanic who rebuilt the airplane conducted a preflight inspection, to include a check of the flight controls, and were satisfied that the airplane appeared airworthy. During the takeoff-initial climb, the airplane was about 150 feet agl at 70 mph airspeed when it suddenly rolled about 90 degrees to the right. The pilot applied left aileron and left rudder control, but the airplane did not respond. He retarded the engine power to idle and pushed forward on the control yoke to maintain airspeed. The airplane's right wing struck the runway and the pilot applied full engine power. The left wing struck the ground, and the airplane landed hard on the main landing gear. The airplane then departed the runway area and collided with a ditch. A post accident examination of the airplane and flight controls revealed that the chain control linkage, within the control yoke, was misrouted at the base of the control column, thereby reversing the aileron activation. Standard preflight inspection protocols for fixed-wing aircraft require that the pilot ensure that the ailerons deflect in the proper direction when the control yoke is moved to the left and right roll positions. NTSB report ANC07LA029.

Total Time: 10,611 hours at Apr-2007.

Mods include: Tundra tires, extended cabin with Alaska door.

Note: On rebuild at Edmonton, AB.,  in Sep-2008.
