What happened
During a flight operating within Mexico, a twin-engine aircraft was involved in an incident in the El Sacrificio region of the State of Campeche. The aircraft, which was reportedly engaged in a smuggling operation, was carrying three individuals at the time of the event. The pilot attempted to perform a belly landing within a swampy area.
Local authorities discovered the wreckage several hours after the event. Upon inspection of the crash site, investigators found no evidence of the passengers or the cargo that was being transported.
Findings
Investigations conducted by both Mexican and United States authorities revealed significant discrepancies regarding the aircraft's identity. While the registration N633D was associated with the wreckage, official records indicate that this registration belongs to a Piper PA-31 with MSN 31-7852098, an aircraft that was not involved in this accident. Consequently, officials have confirmed that the registration used on the aircraft was fraudulent.
