What happened
During a flight involving the transport of contraband, a twin-engine aircraft experienced a critical loss of power. While traveling near the border between Colombia and Venezuela, the crew encountered fuel exhaustion, which necessitated an immediate attempt to land the plane safely.
The aircraft subsequently crash-landed in the vicinity of Paraguachón. Despite the impact, both occupants of the plane managed to exit the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. The incident resulted in zero fatalities and zero injuries.
Findings
Investigations into the event determined that the primary reason for the emergency descent was the total depletion of fuel reserves during the mission. The impact of the crash-landing caused significant structural damage to the airframe, rendering the aircraft a total loss.
