TSB says all commercial Beaver planes should have stall-warning system

MONTREAL — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is recommending all Beaver-type planes be equipped with a stall-warning system.

The agency made the announcement Thursday as it released its report into a fatal crash involving a Beaver floatplane that struck ground near Tadoussac, Que., in 2015.

As the pilot tried to manoeuvre the plane closer to the ground, it stalled in a steep turn and crashed, killing all six people on board.

The TSB said the experienced pilot didn’t realize a stall was imminent when he was making the turn and the aircraft had no stall-warning system.
