What happened
Shortly after departing from San Borjak-Capitán Germán Quiroga Guardia Airport, the flight crew identified a hydraulic leak originating from the right engine. Following this discovery, the crew notified Air Traffic Control and received authorization to perform a return to the airfield.
During the descent phase of the flight, the aircraft struggled to preserve a safe altitude. In an effort to manage the situation, the crew attempted an emergency landing within an open field. Upon impacting the ground, the tail section of the aircraft detached from the main fuselage. The impact was followed by a fire that consumed the wreckage.
