What happened
During an approach to the Arequipa-Alfredo Rodríguez Ballón Airport, the flight crew encountered significantly reduced visibility caused by adverse weather. While navigating the descent, the aircraft descended below a safe altitude and collided with a mountain slope. The impact resulted in a crash that claimed the lives of all five occupants on board.
Findings
- The primary factor contributing to the accident was limited visibility resulting from poor meteorological conditions during the approach phase.
- The aircraft's flight path led to an impact with terrain at an insufficient altitude.
