What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Arauca-Santiago Pérez Quiroz Airport, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of power in one of its engines. In response to the mechanical failure, the crew initiated an emergency descent to perform an unplanned landing.
During this maneuver, the aircraft collided with a utility pole before crashing. The accident resulted in one fatality and left four others injured.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the primary factor in the accident was an engine failure occurring during the climb phase. The specific underlying reason for the loss of power has not yet been determined.
