What happened
During a departure from Pastaza Airport, an aircraft experienced a critical loss of engine power while climbing to an altitude of approximately 200 feet. Following the loss of power, the crew attempted to execute an emergency landing procedure to return to the airfield. During this maneuver, the aircraft entered a stall and descended into a nearby cemetery.
Findings
The accident resulted in 1 fatality and 10 injuries, with several of the injured individuals sustaining serious wounds. The sequence of events indicates that the loss of propulsion led to an aerodynamic stall during the initial climb phase.
