What happened
During the final approach phase of the flight into Capahuari, the aircraft encountered a sudden rain squall that obscured the pilot's view of the ground. While attempting to land, the single-engine aircraft made contact with the surface of runway 36, resulting in a bounce. Following this impact, the aircraft became uncontrollable and drifted toward the left side of the runway. The flight ended when the plane exited the paved surface and settled in a nearby ravine.
Findings
- The primary factor in the loss of control was the sudden loss of visual contact with the ground caused by heavy precipitation.
- The aircraft sustained damage that rendered it a total loss.
- There were two injuries reported among the occupants, though both were classified as minor.
- The incident occurred during the landing phase of the flight.
