What happened
During a local training mission operating out of Bogotá-Teelcho Airport, the crew experienced an engine fire while airborne. In response to the emergency, the pilots attempted to reach a nearby field to perform an emergency landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed a belly landing and slid across the terrain for several dozen yards. The impact was followed by a fire that consumed the airframe. Despite the intensity of the flames, both members of the crew managed to evacuate the aircraft without sustaining any injuries. The aircraft itself was completely destroyed during the incident.
Findings
Official investigations determined that the primary factor in the accident was an engine fire that occurred during the flight phase.
