Circumstances:
Upon landing at Inuvik Airport, the airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
Probable cause:
It is believed that the loss of control was the consequence of a technical issue with propellers as only one was in fine pitch, causing asymmetric thrust.
