Flight Sequence
On 9 August 2022, a Piper PA-11 aircraft, registered LV-NIG, departed from the Chañar Ladeado aerodrome in Santa Fe province at 16:00 UTC on a local training flight. The flight was conducted as part of general aviation instruction. After approximately 40 minutes of flight, the instructor and the student landed to evaluate the activity. During a post-flight briefing, the details of the flight were analyzed. Because the student still had remaining flight time, it was decided that he would conduct a subsequent flight solo. The plan included turns around a point and S-turns along a road.
The instructor observed the takeoff and the right turn that would take the aircraft to an area near the aerodrome, which was commonly used for training. (The remainder of the flight sequence, including the loss of control, is described in the investigation report's synopsis as a "loss of control in flight during training maneuvers at low altitude.")
