C-GOGT, a Beech 200 King Air aircraft operated by Missinippi Airways, was conducting flight MA03 from Thompson (CYTH), MB to Norway House (CYNE), MB with 2 crew members and 1 passenger on board. While climbing through 11 500 feet after the departure from CYTH, the left engine (Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-41) chip detector light illuminated.
The flight crew elected to perform a precautionary shutdown of the engine, declared an emergency, and returned to CYTH where the aircraft landed without further incident.
