Help regarding ultralight accident in Canada
 

A few years ago a friend of mine was killed in an ultralight accident. I searched the Transportation Safety Board's database and there is no accident report available. Are there any other places to search for an accident report? Thanks in advance.

You can likely find it here: Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System (CADORS) - Main Menu

The Canadian TSB keeps things close to its chest until the report is issued. Commonly it takes tow years to complete a report and I have heard that that is because the limitation period for civil lawsuits is two years. It can then take an additional year for the French translation to be made available, which is required to be done before the report will be posted on their website.

IF by some magic you know the TSB is developing a report on a particular accident you can submit an inquiry. They do release the English version on request once it is available.

TSB makes an annual report to Parliament which lists the Air Reports they have completed:

It ain't the NTSB

Damn French, if they're not striking, they're slowing down Canada!

Be aware that some accidents, even fatal ones, do not classified highly enough to trigger much of a report. I don't know exactly how the classifications are decided. Not all reports seem to be made public, and I've had to ask for some in the past.

If you want to PM me some detail, I do have someone I can ask.

Why not ask this question at avcanada?

Thanks, guys. I found a short synopsis of the accident on the Transport Canada site and have posted the question on avcanada.
