What happened
During an attempt to land the aircraft on a public road, the pilot initiated a final turn that resulted in a loss of control. The aircraft entered a stall and subsequently crashed, resulting in a post-impact fire. There was only one person on board at the time of the accident, and the pilot was killed in the crash.
Investigations later revealed that the flight was being used for the illegal transport of narcotics.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary reason for the accident was the pilot's failure to maintain sufficient airspeed during the final maneuvering turn. This loss of speed led directly to the aerodynamic stall and subsequent impact. Several contributing factors were identified, including:
- An improperly planned approach sequence
- The decision to perform a low-altitude turn intended for a road landing
- The presence of narcotics on board the aircraft
