What happened
During a scheduled post-maintenance test flight departing from Mexico City-Benito Juarez Airport, the aircraft experienced a critical loss of propulsion. Shortly after takeoff, while the aircraft was in its initial climb phase, both engines suffered a simultaneous loss of power.
In response to the dual engine failure, the crew attempted to perform an emergency landing on a nearby soccer field. However, the descent resulted in a crash landing in the vicinity of a motorway. While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss, there were no injuries reported among the two pilots, both of whom managed to escape the wreckage.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced a simultaneous loss of power in both engines during the climb phase.
