What happened
During the initial climb phase following departure from Guatemala City-La Aurora Airport, the aircraft encountered an unforeseen flight condition. In an attempt to manage the situation and execute a return to the airfield for a safe landing, the pilot lost control of the plane. The aircraft subsequently entered a stall and descended into a residential area located beyond the runway threshold.
The impact occurred on three houses situated past the end of the departure runway. While the aircraft was completely destroyed in the accident, there were no reported injuries to people on the ground. All ten individuals on board sustained injuries during the crash.
Findings
- The flight was in its initial climb phase when the emergency began.
- The loss of control was precipitated by an aerodynamic stall during the pilot's attempt to return to the airport.
