On July 19, 2015, at approximately 1515 UTC, a Cessna 206G, registration HC-CLR, was involved in a fatal accident near Sucua, Ecuador. The aircraft was operating on the return leg of a sport-parachuting flight after five parachutists had already exited the plane at 12,000 feet.
Seven minutes after the parachutists deployed, the pilot reported a loss of engine power while the aircraft was at 9,500 feet. The pilot declared an emergency and stated an intention to perform a forced landing at Sucua Airport (SUQ). However, the aircraft collided with terrain before reaching the airport. The pilot sustained one serious injury, and there were no fatalities.
