What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Uruapan-General Ignacio López Rayón Airport, the aircraft experienced a loss of power due to an engine failure. In an effort to recover the situation, the pilot attempted to maneuver the plane back toward the airfield. However, the aircraft subsequently entered a stall and descended rapidly, impacting the ground in the vicinity of the airport.
Findings
Investigations into the accident revealed that the aircraft was operating at a total weight that exceeded its maximum takeoff weight. This overloading of the aircraft was a critical factor during the climb. The accident resulted in nine fatalities, with no survivors among the occupants.
