On June 29, 1988, a Douglas DC-6 (registration YS-05C) operated by Aerolineas El Salvador - AESA was involved in an aviation accident near San Salvador-Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez (Comalapa), Salvador during takeoff. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The aircraft entered a stall condition shortly after departing the runway. This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A).
An aircraft experienced a stall and subsequent crash shortly after departing from San Salvador-Comalapa Airport, resulting in two injuries.
What happened
During the initial climb phase of flight, an aircraft departed from San Salvador-Comalapa Airport. Shortly after leaving the runway, the aircraft entered a stall condition. This loss of lift led to a crash in the vicinity of the departure site.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. Both members of the flight crew sustained injuries during the accident, though no fatalities were reported among the occupants.
Findings
Preliminary information indicates that the primary factor leading to the accident was an aerodynamic stall occurring immediately after takeoff.
Probable cause
The aircraft entered a stall condition shortly after departing the runway.
