Accident Sequence
During the final approach to Tumaco-La Florida Airport, at a height of approximately 100 feet, the aircraft entered an uncontrolled descent and impacted the runway surface. The crew managed to complete the braking procedure, vacated the runway, and brought the aircraft to a stop on the apron.
Evacuation and Injuries
Following the landing, the right wing partially failed, leading to the evacuation of all 92 occupants. A small number of passengers sustained injuries. The aircraft was subsequently assessed as damaged beyond repair.
Probable Cause
According to the official investigation, the copilot inadvertently extended the spoilers during the last segment of the short final. This action caused the aircraft to enter a rapid descent until it struck the runway with a positive acceleration exceeding its certification limits. Contributing factors included corrosion found in the wing root, lack of crew coordination, and a poorly planned approach.
