The occurrence

On 19 July 2024, an Ayres S2R-R1340 aircraft operated by Precision West Ag Corporation departed Rosetown Aerodrome, Saskatchewan, to conduct an aerial application flight over a field near Birsay, Saskatchewan.

After the first application pass of the field, the aircraft collided with the flat terrain, resulting in significant damage to the aircraft. There was no post-impact fire, and the emergency locator transmitter activated.
