What happened
During the landing phase at San Salvador de Paúl Airfield, a single-engine airplane experienced a mechanical failure involving its nose gear. The collapse of the landing gear caused the aircraft to lose stability, ultimately resulting in the plane coming to rest in an inverted position.
As a result of the impact and the subsequent rollover, all seven occupants on board sustained injuries. The aircraft itself suffered extensive damage during the incident and was subsequently declared a total loss, being damaged beyond repair.
Findings
- The primary factor in the accident was the loss of the nose gear during the landing sequence.
