What happened
During an executive transport operation, the crew of an aircraft encountered a simultaneous loss of power in both engines. Upon realizing the emergency, the flight crew notified Air Traffic Control regarding the double engine failure. In response to the emergency, controllers provided vectors directing the plane toward Mérida Airport.
As the aircraft was performing its approach to the airfield, it entered a stall condition. The descent continued until the plane impacted treetops located a short distance before reaching the runway threshold. The impact resulted in the total loss of the airframe.
Findings
- Both pilots sustained injuries during the accident.
- The primary factor contributing to the crash was a double engine failure for reasons that remain undetermined.
