What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from the Cuzco-Alejandro Velasco Astete airport, the aircraft encountered an aerodynamic stall. This loss of lift caused the plane to descend into a nearby field, where it impacted the ground and subsequently caught fire.
Despite the intensity of the flames and the partial destruction of the airframe, all five people on board were able to exit the wreckage. There were zero fatalities reported in the incident, as every occupant evacuated the aircraft safely before the fire could cause further harm.
Findings
- The aircraft entered a state of aerodynamic stall during the period immediately following takeoff.
