What happened
During the final approach phase of flight into Río Grande Airport, the aircraft experienced an aerodynamic stall. This loss of lift caused the plane to descend uncontrollably into a field situated a short distance, approximately several dozen yards, before the runway threshold.
The impact with the ground was severe enough that the aircraft type was completely destroyed. Among the occupants on board, there were 11 fatalities and 13 serious injuries recorded following the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash indicate that the primary factor leading to the accident was an aerodynamic stall occurring just before touchdown.
