What happened
During a scheduled cargo operation, an aircraft was maintaining its cruising altitude when the crew identified mechanical difficulties involving the engines. In response to these technical complications, the flight crew initiated procedures for an emergency descent and attempted to land the plane safely.
While performing the emergency maneuver, the aircraft impacted the ground in the vicinity of the Beni River. Despite the impact, the airframe remained intact enough to allow all personnel on board to exit the wreckage. There were zero fatalities and zero injuries among the five occupants involved in the incident.
Findings
Investigations into the mechanical failure determined that the primary factor leading to the engine issues was a carburetor failure.
