Missing airplane on flight from Penticton to Edmonton

[J31]

Very sad for the families. Years later but still lots to learn. TSB report released 27 Feb 2019.

Examination of the wreckage indicated that the aircraft struck the terrain in a steep, nose-down attitude. The slope of the hillside was approximately 25°. The flaps were found in the fully retracted (up) position. The landing gear was found in the partially extended position; however, the investigation was unable to determine if the landing gear had been selected down or if it had been extended a result of the impact forces.

Interesting that they would choose to fly with one magneto unservicable.
