What happened
On a morning flight departing from Managua-Augustual C. Sandino Airport, a twin engine aircraft operated by the Australian Company CSA Global crashed in Nicaragua. The flight was part of a geological survey mission related to canal construction efforts. At approximately 09:34 local time, the aircraft, which was being operated by a single pilot, lost control during the flight.
The wreckage was located in a field in the Los Camastros area, situated roughly one kilometer north of Veracruz. The impact resulted in one fatality, as the pilot was killed in the accident. Evidence recovered from the site indicated that a parachute was present within the wreckage, suggesting a possible attempt to bail out prior to the impact.
Findings
- The aircraft experienced a loss of control during the mission.
- The exact sequence of events leading to the loss of control remains undetermined.
