What happened
During a local mission in Buenos Aires, a single-engine aircraft experienced a catastrophic structural failure. While in flight, the left wing of the plane became detached from the fuselage. This separation caused the aircraft to enter an uncontrolled descent, leading to a high-impact crash. Following the impact, a post-crash fire erupted, which completely destroyed the airframe.
Investigators located the detached left wing approximately 180 metres away from the main wreckage site. The impact and subsequent fire resulted in two fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft.
Findings
Preliminary observations indicate that the detachment of the left wing was the primary event that led to the loss of control and the subsequent destruction of the aircraft.
