What happened
During a positioning flight from Puebla-Hermanos Serdán-Huejotzingo Airport toward Atlangatepec, the aircraft performed a low pass over runway 01. Following this maneuver, the crew began a go-around procedure with the intention of performing a circuit to land on runway 19.
As the flight continued on its final approach, the aircraft encountered restricted visibility caused by nighttime conditions and low-hanging clouds. During this phase, the aircraft struck the water surface and crashed into the Atlanga lagoon. The wreckage settled at a depth of approximately 30 meters, roughly 800 meters before reaching the runway threshold. The accident resulted in two fatalities, as both pilots were killed in the impact.
Findings
- The accident occurred during the final approach phase.
- Limited visibility due to darkness and low cloud cover was a significant factor during the approach to the lagoon.
