Shortly after take-off on 26 September, the helicopter came down in a field in Sainte-Brigide-d'Iberville, about 55 kilometres southeast of Montreal, and caught fire. All four people on board died at the scene.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has sent investigators, and Transport Canada is appointing a minister's observer. The type of helicopter has not been officially confirmed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6fa;border:1px solid #e2e7ee;padding:18px 22px;margin:22px 0 28px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;color:#0d1117;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.75\"><li><strong>Date:<\/strong> Saturday 26 September 2026, about 2:30pm local time<\/li><li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Field near Rang des \u00c9cossais, off Highway 10, Sainte-Brigide-d\u2019Iberville, Quebec<\/li><li><strong>Occupants:<\/strong> Four, all killed: the pilot and three passengers<\/li><li><strong>Flight:<\/strong> Private helicopter ride, per the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec<\/li><li><strong>Early information:<\/strong> Police said the helicopter likely ran into difficulty shortly after take-off<\/li><li><strong>Investigation:<\/strong> Transportation Safety Board of Canada<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Down Near the Departure Point<\/h2>\r\n<p>The S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec (SQ) said the crash happened at around 2:30pm and that the helicopter was on fire when first responders arrived. On Saturday evening police said early information suggested the helicopter ran into difficulty shortly after take-off and came down not far from where it departed. They described it as a private aircraft. The SQ's major crimes unit took charge of the scene before handing over to the federal investigators.<\/p>\r\n<p>The pilot was Suzanne Jutras, 50, an experienced local pilot who owned two helicopters and regularly gave tours, according to CTV News and CBC, citing people who knew her. A family festival she had flown for during the past three years posted a tribute calling her its favourite pilot. Family members told media the three passengers were relatives on a ride to celebrate a birthday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yrmML1DepcE\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What Happens Next<\/h2>\r\n<p>The TSB confirmed to CBC News that it had deployed a team to the site. Canadian investigators typically document the wreckage in place before moving it to a secure facility, then reconstruct the flight from the wreckage, witnesses, maintenance records and any tracking or onboard data. For a small private helicopter there is often no flight recorder, which makes that work slower.<\/p>\r\n<p>Federal Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon offered his condolences and said Transport Canada would appoint a minister's observer to follow the investigation and flag any regulatory or safety issues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;My thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Steven MacKinnon<\/strong> &mdash; Federal Minister of Transport, Canada (on social media, via CBC News, 26 September 2026)<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/transportation-safety-board-of-canada-office.jpg\" alt=\"Transportation Safety Board of Canada office\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A Transportation Safety Board of Canada office.

What is well established is that the moments just after take-off are among the most demanding for any helicopter pilot. At low height and low speed there is little room to enter an autorotation if the engine or a critical system fails, which is why helicopter operating manuals include a height-velocity diagram showing combinations to avoid.<\/p>\r\n<p>The TSB usually publishes its findings months later. For the family, friends and the small aviation community of the Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie, the answers will come too late to matter.
