What happened
During a scheduled departure from Bahía Solano-José Celestino Mutis Airport bound for Quibdó, a twin engine aircraft experienced a runway excursion. As the flight was performing its takeoff roll on runway 36, the plane drifted toward the right side of the strip and exited the paved surface.
Upon encountering soft terrain, the right main landing gear failed. This structural collapse caused the aircraft to rotate, eventually coming to a stop in a grassy area located approximately 5 meters from the edge of the runway. There were 9 occupants on board, consisting of two pilots and seven passengers. All individuals managed to evacuate the wreckage without injury.
Findings
- The aircraft sustained damage that was determined to be beyond repair.
- The primary factor in the excursion was the deviation from the runway centerline during the takeoff roll, which led to the gear collapse on soft ground.
