The plane was last observed on radar about 45 minutes after takeoff from Dryden, and was found crashed in a wooded area about 35 kilometres southeast of Sioux Lookout
A pilot who was not qualified to fly by instruments was among the factors that likely contributed to a plane crash earlier this year that resulted in the deaths of four people, according to federal investigators.
The plane took off in Dryden on the night of April 29 and was due in Marathon a few hours later, in the early morning of April 30. The plane had been last observed on radar about 45 minutes after take-off, and had been flying in what the report described as a "zig-zag route." The plane crashed into a wooded area, destroying the plane upon impact.
The Transportation Safety Board did not find any night flight entries in the pilot's logbook in the six months prior to the crash. Federal regulations require a pilot to have five night takeoffs and five night landings within previous six months to fly at night with passengers.
