Beechcraft V35B Bonanza, N3804X
A small American plane that went missing Monday near Senneterre has been found. The pilot, who was the only person on board, was found dead amid plane wreckage in dense forest in northwestern Quebec.
A Canadian armed forces helicopter sent to search for the Beechcraft V35B Bonanza found it around 7 p.m. Friday in Quebec’s Val d’Or region, about 525 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
Capt. Trevor Reid says the air force, provincial police and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada are investigating.
“It was found in very austere terrain, dense forest and large trees,” he said. “The pilot was found with no vital signs.”
About 100 rescuers from the RCAF, Quebec’s provincial police and other agencies participated in the search operation.
“We hope that this discovery helps the family with its grief and our thoughts are with them during this difficult time,” chief of operations John Landry said in a statement.
Six armed forces aircraft, a Coast Guard helicopter, a Sûreté du Québec helicopter and six Quebec rescue aircraft assisted in the search, as did planes from the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association flown by volunteers.
The plane left an airport in Wisconsin, flying toward Danbury, Connecticut. The pilot deviated from his flight plan toward the north because of weather.
“We know he turned north to avoid a very large storm,” Reid said Saturday. “What remains unknown and what is now part of the investigation … is how he came to be that far north.”
Air traffic control lost contact north of Senneterre, in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.
The flightradar24.com website, which tracks active flights, indicates the plane, with callsign N3804X, took off at 2:55 p.m. Monday from Wittman Regional Airport near Oshkosh, northwest of Milwaukee. It proceeded northeast over Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, passed between Malartic and Val-d’Or and flew north to Senneterre before turning northwest.
The air force did not identify the pilot.

The pilot reported that during takeoff initial climb, once above the tree line, he felt as though the airplane encountered, "a strong quartering tailwind." The stall warning horn sounded, and the airplane began to descend to the left. He was able to put the airplane's nose down, and the airplane touched down in the grass area that outlined the left side of the runway surface and bounced. He cut the engine's power and the airplane touched down again in the grass area on the left side of the runway and "went onto the nose-wheel and the left main. The pilot applied right rudder and he was able to steer the airplane back onto the runway and stop.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The pilot reported that about the time of the accident, the wind at the accident site was calm.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control in flight
Injuries: 1 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
Analysis
The pilot reported that, during landing, the airplane touched down and suddenly "pitched and lifted to the right." He added power to go around, but the airplane climbed and "turned way more to the left." The airplane impacted trees, spun, and dropped onto terrain.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause and Findings
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The pilot's failure to maintain lateral control and his subsequent failure to maintain the runway heading during an attempted go-around, which resulted in impact with trees.
Findings
