According to the media it crashed "aux abords du chemin Richard, de la route 199 et du chemin du Cap-Rouge." which would make it 2 miles from the threshold where the plane would normally be 500 ft above threshold.

A witness said:
" Il a levé les yeux et, à travers le brouillard, a vu ce qu’il ne voulait pas voir. «J’ai regardé et je l’ai vu tomber, comme quand on fait un «flat» sur l’eau, sur le ventre». Il a aussitôt fait le 9-1-1.

L’avion s’est écrasé dans un petit vallon, sur une pente ascendante. «Il a fait un rebond, il s’est affaissé, est retombé et “poufff”, j’ai vu de la boucane. Après, y a plus rien qui bougeait"
Google Translation:

"He looked up and , through the fog , saw what he did not want to see . " I looked and I saw him fall , as when doing a "flat" on the water, on the belly . " He immediately had 9-1-1.

The plane crashed in a small valley on the rise . "It was a rebound, he bowed , fell and " poufff " I saw a smudge . After , there is nothing that moved "
