What happened
During a scheduled ferry flight from Puerto Montt-El Tepual Airport to Chaitén, an aircraft experienced a landing accident upon arrival. The flight was being conducted under the operation of Eduardo Rubio Guarderas.
As the aircraft touched down, it settled within the first third of the runway length. During this phase of the landing, the plane encountered rubble located on the ground surface. This contact resulted in damage to both main landing gears. Following the impact with the debris, one of the gear assemblies collapsed, causing the aircraft to veer off the runway surface. The sequence ended when the vehicle came to a complete stop.
Findings
There were no injuries reported among the crew following the incident. However, the structural damage sustained by the aircraft was severe enough that the plane was declared a total loss, being considered beyond repair.
