What happened
On the afternoon of the accident, a twin engine airplane departed from runway 26 at the Popayán-Guillermo León Valencia Airport at 14:06:06. During the initial climb, the aircraft struggled to reach an adequate altitude. Approximately 20 seconds after leaving the runway, while traveling at a speed of 82 knots, the plane experienced a right-side roll. This maneuver led to an uncontrolled descent, and the aircraft struck two houses situated roughly 530 meters beyond the end of the runway.
The impact resulted in a total of seven fatalities and two serious injuries among the occupants of the aircraft.
