What happened
During a scheduled skydiving operation for the Skydiving Club of Cumiana, a single-engine aircraft experienced a catastrophic structural failure while in flight. While performing local maneuvers, the aircraft encountered atmospheric turbulence, which led to the detachment of a wing. Following this loss of structural integrity, the plane entered an uncontrolled descent.
The aircraft ultimately crashed into a field, resulting in the total destruction of the airframe. The accident resulted in two fatalities and two injuries among the occupants on board.
Findings
Preliminary details indicate that the encounter with atmospheric turbulence was the primary factor leading to the wing separation and the subsequent loss of control.
