What happened
During a local training flight at Iquitos-Moronacocha Airport, a single-engine aircraft was conducting maneuvers with five pilots on board. As the aircraft was on short final approach, it experienced a loss of altitude. The plane subsequently struck the ground in the vicinity of the runway threshold.
All five individuals on board sustained injuries during the impact. The aircraft itself was declared a total loss due to damage sustained during the crash.
Findings
- The aircraft was operating in a training capacity at the time of the accident.
- The descent occurred while the aircraft was in the final approach phase of flight.
