What happened
The flight encountered an urgent situation that compelled the pilot to initiate an emergency landing. The specific reasons for this decision remain unknown. During the approach, the aircraft did not make a controlled touchdown on a prepared runway. Instead, it crash landed in the vicinity of Machacamarca. The airframe ultimately came to rest on sand dunes following the impact.
Despite the severity of the landing, all five crew members were successfully rescued from the wreckage. Following the incident, the aircraft was assessed and subsequently written off, indicating that it was beyond economic repair or safe for continued operation.
