What happened
A private flight consisting of a single pilot and five passengers, all members of the same family, departed from Porlamar with an intended destination of Charallave. During the flight, the pilot reportedly altered the flight plan, choosing to proceed toward the Cojedes Province instead.
While en route, the aircraft experienced a total loss of power in both engines. This loss of propulsion was attributed to fuel exhaustion. In an attempt to manage the emergency, the pilot attempted to perform an unplanned landing, but the twin engine aircraft struck a wooded area located in the vicinity of Macapo. The impact resulted in five fatalities and left one passenger, a 10-year-old girl, with serious injuries.
Findings
The primary factor leading to the accident was fuel exhaustion, which caused the simultaneous failure of both engines during the flight.
