What happened
During the approach phase toward Montevideo-Carrasco Airport, the T-581 (also registered as CX-BJK) experienced a simultaneous loss of power in both engines. As the aircraft descended, the crew was forced to divert from the intended runway to an open area located approximately 11 km from the airport.
The landing took place in a field, which resulted in the aircraft being written off due to extensive damage. Despite the severity of the impact, there were zero fatalities and zero injuries reported among the occupants, as everyone on board successfully evacuated the wreckage.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the primary reason for the dual engine failure was fuel exhaustion during the descent.
