A Provincial Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-300, registration C-GYCV performing flight PB-907 from St. John's,NL to Saint Anthony,NL (Canada) with 35 passengers and 4 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from runway 29 when the left hand engine (PW123B) experienced an overtorque condition due to an uncommanded feather of the left hand propeller. The crew rejected takeoff, shut the engine down and stopped the aircraft on the runway. The crew subsequently backtracked the runway and vacated the runway via runway 16 about 900 meters/3000 feet down runway 29.

A replacement Dash 8-100 reached Saint Anthony with a delay of 2:15 hours.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced propeller, the propeller auto-feather controller and the engine torque sensing unit in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
