What happened
During a nighttime approach to Ensenada Airport, an aircraft struck a hill situated a short distance from the airfield. The flight was operating in foggy weather conditions at the time of the accident. The impact resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft and caused eight fatalities.
Findings
Investigations into the crash suggest that the crew was operating at an altitude that was too low for the terrain. It is believed that the crew proceeded with their descent without having obtained the necessary clearance to approach Ensenada Airport. The primary factor in the accident was the failure to maintain sufficient altitude while navigating through low visibility.
