The occurrence
On 10 May 2024, a privately registered Piper PA-32-260 (Cherokee Six) aircraft was conducting a visual flight rules (VFR) flight from Saint-Georges-de-Beauce Airport, Quebec, to Sherbrooke Airport, Quebec, with 1 pilot and 1 passenger on board.
Halfway through the flight, the pilot noticed a loss of oil pressure and a rise in oil temperature, prompting him to broadcast a distress call on the radio.
