Fatal Yukon Crash Caused by Pilot's Response to Engine Failure

The crash took place at the Haines Junction Aerodrome in July 2024, during a sightseeing flight over Kluane National Park and Reserve. The pilot of the Cessna 206 was preparing to land when the plane ran out of fuel in the selected tank, resulting in a complete loss of power due to "fuel starvation."

The accident resulted in the death of one passenger and serious injuries to four others.
