Accident Overview
During a short final approach to Mitú-Fabio A. León Bentley Airport, the flight crew failed to realize that their altitude was too low. As a result, the aircraft initially made contact with the ground 8 meters before the runway threshold. It then bounced and touched down a second time, approximately 300 meters past the runway threshold.
Sequence of Events
Upon the second touchdown, the right main landing gear collapsed. The aircraft subsequently veered off the runway to the right, slid across the apron, and collided with a parked Satena Pilatus PC-6. The impact caused the accident aircraft to break into two sections.
Injuries and Damage
All five crew members aboard the accident aircraft sustained injuries. Additionally, two technicians who were working on the parked PC-6 at the time were also injured.
Probable Cause
The crew failed to realize that the aircraft's altitude was too low during the short final approach, leading to the landing short of the runway.
