What happened
During a departure from Maiquetía-Simon Bolivar Airport, an aircraft entered an uncontrollable descent while performing its initial climb. The flight path deviated significantly as the plane transitioned into a steep dive. The impact occurred in the ocean at a distance of several kilometers from Macuto.
There were 47 fatalities recorded following the crash, with no survivors reported among the occupants. The incident took place during the climb phase of the flight.
Findings
Investigations into the accident suggest that the primary reason for the loss of control was a failure of the artificial horizon instrument while the plane was ascending.
