What happened
During the early stages of flight following departure from Bogotá-Techo Airport, the crew of the aircraft experienced mechanical issues involving the left engine. While performing the initial climb, the pilot-in-command determined that the technical malfunction required an immediate change in flight path. To manage the situation, the pilot decreased the aircraft's altitude to facilitate a controlled descent.
The flight ended with an emergency landing in an unpopulated wasteland area situated approximately six kilometers southeast of the airport. Although the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, there were no injuries reported among the two occupants on board.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the primary factor leading to the emergency was the failure of the left engine shortly after takeoff.
