What happened
During an approach to Bogotá-El Dorado International Airport under conditions of restricted visibility, a twin engine aircraft collided with the terrain. The accident occurred in the vicinity of El Rosal, situated approximately 20 km northwest of the destination airport. The impact took place on a mountain slope at an elevation of 3,200 meters.
There were three fatalities resulting from the crash, as all occupants on board were killed upon impact.
Findings
Official investigations concluded that the accident was triggered when the pilot began the approach sequence earlier than intended. This premature descent resulted in the aircraft dropping below the minimum required altitude for the flight phase.
