What happened
A private flight departed from La Parota, Michoacán, carrying a total of seven individuals. During the cruise phase of the flight, the single engine airplane encountered difficulties while navigating over mountainous terrain. The aircraft subsequently lost control and struck the slope of a heavily wooded hill.
The impact of the crash, followed by a post-crash fire, resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. There were seven fatalities recorded, as all occupants on board were killed during the accident.
Findings
The aircraft's descent into the hillside was characterized by a loss of control during flight over the mountains. The intensity of the post-impact fire and the force of the collision were sufficient to ensure the complete loss of the airframe.
