What happened
During the initial climb following departure from La Paz-Manuel Márquez de León Airport, the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving one of its engines. This loss of power resulted in the pilot losing control of the plane, which subsequently entered a stall. The aircraft descended into a residential district, impacting buildings and ground structures.
As a result of the impact, there were 5 fatalities in total, consisting of three crew members and two individuals who were on the ground at the time of the crash. Additionally, the accident resulted in 25 injuries among the occupants and others nearby.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified that the primary factor leading to the loss of control was an engine failure occurring during the takeoff and climb sequence.
