What happened
During an active flight phase, the crew encountered an unforeseen emergency that necessitated an immediate attempt to land the aircraft. While navigating the airspace, the situation forced the operators to deviate from their intended path to seek a landing site.
The aircraft subsequently crash landed in a desert environment situated near Olacapato Chico, approximately 40 km northwest of San Antonio de los Cobres. The impact resulted in the aircraft being damaged beyond repair, though no fatalities were reported.
Findings
- All three crew members survived the incident without any injuries.
- The primary driver of the accident was an unexpected situation encountered during flight that prevented the continuation of the mission.
