What happened
On a charter flight departing from Puerto Montt-Marcel Marchant (La Paloma) Airport, a twin engine airplane began its ascent from Runway 01 at 10:50 local time. The flight was destined for Ayacara and was carrying a total of six people, including one pilot and five passengers.
Approximately 36 seconds into the climb, the pilot issued an emergency declaration. During this period, the aircraft initiated a left-hand turn, which led to an aerodynamic stall. The plane subsequently struck a residence situated in a nearby neighborhood, roughly 450 meters beyond the runway threshold. The impact triggered a significant post-crash fire that consumed both the aircraft and the structure.
All six occupants on board the aircraft perished in the accident. Additionally, the fire caused injuries to one resident of the house.
Findings
- The aircraft entered a stall during a climbing turn shortly after departure.
