The occurrence
On 13 April 2024, at 0206 Atlantic Daylight Time, the Keewatin Air LP Beechcraft King Air B200 aircraft (registration C-GBYN, serial number BB 1232), departed Goose Bay Airport (CYYR), Newfoundland and Labrador, on an instrument flight rules medical evacuation flight to Québec/Jean Lesage International Airport (CYQB), Quebec, with 2 pilots, 2 medical staff, and 1 patient on board. Shortly after the departure from Runway 26, the flight crew received a left-engine fire indication. They requested a return to CYYR and subsequently declared an emergency. The flight crew stopped the climb and completed the memory items necessary to shut down the left engine. While on vectors for the return, the flight crew lost visual reference with the runway temporarily and regained it at 0.8 nautical miles from the threshold. Air traffic control cleared the aircraft for a contact approach to Runway 08. The flight crew conducted a single-engine landing on Runway 08. At 0212, following touchdown 9075 feet down the wet runway, the aircraft overran the runway by approximately 40 feet, striking 2 runway end lights and coming to a stop on the prepared surface. There were no injuries. The aircraft sustained minor damage.

TSB investigation process
There are 3 phases to a TSB investigation
- Field phase: a team of investigators examines the occurrence site and wreckage, interviews witnesses and collects pertinent information.
- Examination and analysis phase: the TSB reviews pertinent records, tests components of the wreckage in the lab, determines the sequence of events and identifies safety deficiencies. When safety deficiencies are suspected or confirmed, the TSB advises the appropriate authority without waiting until publication of the final report.
- Report phase: a confidential draft report is approved by the Board and sent to persons and corporations who are directly concerned by the report. They then have the opportunity to dispute or correct information they believe to be incorrect. The Board considers all representations before approving the final report, which is subsequently released to the public.
