What happened
The twin engine aircraft departed Asunción Airport at 1750 local time with four individuals on board: two pilots and two officers. Approximately thirty minutes into the flight, the crew encountered deteriorating weather conditions characterized by active thunderstorms. During this period of poor visibility and turbulence, the aircraft lost control and impacted the ground in an uninhabited area near Quyquyhó.
Following the crash, search efforts recovered the body of the pilot within the wreckage. However, no physical remains or trace of the three other occupants were located at the site. Authorities concluded that these individuals likely abandoned the aircraft during the incident. Due to the absence of any evidence of survival, the three missing persons were officially classified as deceased.
Findings
The primary contributing factor identified in the sequence of events was the encounter with thunderstorm activity shortly after takeoff. This severe weather condition led directly to the loss of control and the subsequent impact with the terrain.
