What happened
During a flight characterized by favorable weather conditions, the pilot attempted a visual flight rules (VFR) approach to runway 28 at Ciudad Acuña-El Bonito Airport. At the time of the approach, visibility was reported at 9 km with an outside air temperature of +30° C.
As the aircraft was on short final, it struck the ground approximately five meters before reaching the runway threshold. The impact caused the aircraft to bounce and roll for several dozen meters before veering toward the left side of the runway. The sequence ended when the plane came to a stop within a nearby wooded area. While the aircraft sustained damage beyond repair, all six occupants were able to evacuate the wreckage without injury.
Findings
Investigations into the incident indicate that the primary factor was a failure to maintain sufficient altitude during the final stages of the approach, leading to the ground impact before the runway could be reached.
