Circumstances:
The Otter registered C-FKLC was on the frozen Lagopede Lake, ready for takeoff, when another Otter operated by Air Saguenay and registered C-FODT landed on the same lake. Upon touchdown, the pilot lost control of the aircraft that collided with the Otter waiting for departure. While the Otter registered C-FODT was slightly damaged, the Otter registered C-FKLC was damaged beyond repair after its right wing was torn off. The pilot, sole on board, was uninjured.
