What happened
During the final approach phase toward San José Airport, the aircraft descended at an altitude that was insufficient for safe clearance. The airframe impacted the slope of a hill located a few kilometers short of the runway threshold. This collision resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft. All 23 occupants aboard, including the pilot and co-pilot, were killed in the incident.
Findings
The primary factor contributing to the accident was the aircraft being too low during its final approach. The terrain profile required a higher descent path than what was maintained by the crew, leading to the controlled flight into terrain.
