TSB not yet sending investigators to site of Kananaskis plane crash due to terrain
TSB investigators will wait to examine the wreckage after recovery because steep terrain and damaged debris make on-site deployment unsafe, officials said.
- On Saturday, Sept 5, a Cirrus SR22 crashed approximately 30 nautical miles west-southwest of Springbank, Alta., killing the two people on board shortly after departure.

- While investigators will not deploy to the site, the TSB remains responsible for examining the wreckage following retrieval to determine the crash's cause.
