What happened
On the morning of April 19, a single-engine aircraft departed from Cúcuta-Camilo Daza Airport at 11:06 local time. The flight was traveling in an easterly direction when it encountered terrain in the Potosí region of Venezuela. During the cruise phase of the flight, the aircraft impacted a mountain slope.
Following the disappearance, search efforts continued until the wreckage was located on April 25. There were 11 fatalities among the occupants of the aircraft, with no survivors reported from the crash site.
Findings
Investigations into the accident determined that the aircraft was operating at an altitude below the required minimums for that specific geographic area. The primary factor contributing to the impact was the pilot's failure to maintain prescribed altitude due to a lack of sufficient experience.
