What happened
During a scheduled flight traveling from Tres Esquinas toward Puerto Leguizamo, the pilot encountered navigational difficulties that resulted in the aircraft becoming lost. Due to these circumstances, the pilot was compelled to perform an emergency landing in the vicinity of the Rio Aguarico.
The wreckage of the aircraft remained undiscovered for three days following the incident. It was eventually located approximately 20 km from the border separating Colombia and Ecuador. Following the discovery of the site, all four occupants were successfully evacuated from the area.
Findings
- The primary reason for the emergency landing was that the pilot became lost during the flight phase.
