What happened
During an approach to Tegucaglia-Toncontin Airport, the aircraft encountered significant NNE winds. Upon making contact with runway 01, the plane experienced a loss of directional control. This led to the aircraft veering off the paved surface and exiting the runway area.
As the vehicle left the runway, the landing gear was torn from the airframe. The aircraft eventually came to a stop within a drainage ditch, where it was consumed by flames. Despite the intensity of the fire, all three crew members managed to evacuate the wreckage without sustaining any injuries. The impact and subsequent fire resulted in the total destruction of the aircraft.
Findings
- The incident occurred during the landing phase under conditions involving strong NNE winds.
