The other pilot was the pilot flying (PF).Ī regional airline Beech 1900 flight crew had attempted an approach on the same runway just before the approach by the occurrence aircraft. The pilot-in-command was the pilot not flying (PNF) and was in the right-hand seat. Radar showed that C-FTNS was established on the localizer with a stable flight profile, at least until 1500 feet above ground level (agl) when radar coverage was lost due to terrain interference. Approach clearance was given by Moncton Centre for the instrument landing system (ILS) Runway 23 approach to the Saint John Airport (CYSJ). The en route portion of the flight from Québec was uneventful. Factual information History of the flight

The aircraft had crashed on final approach, and the two pilots sustained serious burn injuries in the ensuing post-crash fire. Radio contact was lost while the aircraft was on the approach and a brief emergency locator transmitter signal was heard at 2234:30 Atlantic daylight time. On arrival, they flew a radar-vectored, instrument landing system approach in low-visibility conditions to Runway 23 at the Saint John Airport.
